Goodreads asked Sally O'Brien:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sally O'Brien Do it! Put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard and just see what comes out. You may find that at first it feels wrong, that you are not ever going to get the words out, but with practice and focus it all starts to come together. The best tool to finishing a book is to write a story board - a map of where your book is going; where it starts, what the middle is and how it is going to end. Do a short paragraph for each chapter and there you already have the makings of the book. Good luck and enjoy it.
