Goodreads asked Vanessa Ricci-Thode:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Vanessa Ricci-Thode "Aspiring"? Pfft. You're either a writer or you're not. If you put words on a page, you're a writer. Keep putting words to page. If you're not a writer, start putting the words on the page. Stop aspiring and just get to it. It's easy to make excuses on why you don't have time, or enough ideas, or you're just not good enough. Don't listen to that noise. Making time to write requires sacrifice, but if you want to do it, you'll find a way.
