Goodreads asked Mimi Foster:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mimi Foster Write. Yes, it's trite, but you can't be a writer if you don't write. Everyday. Set a goal of something simple (500 words per day). Stick to it.

The other most important thing, to me, is not to edit your first draft. You will rewrite over and over and over again, but you don't have anything to rewrite until you have your first draft done. Let go of the 'editor' in you (your left brain) for your first draft. JUST WRITE.
