Goodreads asked Randi-Anne Dey:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Randi-Anne Dey Just write ! Get your story out there. Dont care what others say, its your story. Some will love it, some will hate it. Some will say, of its only supposed to be X words. Its your story. I saw on a writer page, 4 rules I go by.

1. First know all the rules. Grammar, spelling, short story, flash, novel, genre, everything.
2. Learn that sentences are longer than 12 words a lot of the time and that's okay.
3. BREAK THE D@MN RULES. Do that for a specific reason, a purpose that contributes to the story. Think about it, use it, and ignore every person who says you can't or shouldn't.
4. Enjoy the writing experience.
