Goodreads asked Annette Ranald:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Annette Ranald Don't quit your day job. Even as an Indie author, this is still a long process. Be true to yourself. One of the reasons I went Indie is because I won't write gore, supernatural, etc., which seems to be the prevailing market. Don't be afraid to let yourself explore and write. Work your ideas through, no matter how dumb or lame they may seem at the time. Let your characters help you tell your story. And, if you're writing history, research and get the basic details right.
