Goodreads asked A.R. Donenfeld-Vernoux:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

A.R. Donenfeld-Vernoux Don't stop writing. Keep a journal with you at all times, especially next to your bed, and write down all your ideas. They may be useful in the future if you are stumped by something. Also, join writers groups. Be careful to find one where the intent is to be helpful, then let other people critique your writing and don't take offense. I am in several groups where the intent is to improve our writing skills. If you don't listen when you are told something doesn't work, you'll never improve.
