Goodreads asked Alaina Stanford:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alaina Stanford Write as much as possible, read your reviews and if they have a common thread dig deep down inside and see where the problem is. You don't have to be Tolkien to write, but you can aspire to be. Write down every story idea that comes to you and when you get writer's block walk away for a few days, perhaps even a few weeks.
