Goodreads asked Bernice Lerner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bernice Lerner Persevere!
Take small steps; take the time to craft one sparkling phrase, sentence, and paragraph at a time. Read all you can about the writing process. Take writing classes. Find readers whose opinion you value who can give you feedback on your work.
If your goal is to publish with a traditional press, strategize and don't give up!
