Goodreads asked Hazel Osmond:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Hazel Osmond Apart from do more actual writing than talking about writing, I'd say, find a friend to read your writing who is both very objective and very kind. You need them to be both. If they're too kind they may just tell you what you want to hear. If they are objective but not gentle about it, well, that can send you scurrying back to your cave and it could knock your confidence drastically.
