Victoria asked Shea Olsen:

I've always loved to write, and have starting thinking seriously about writing a book. When I sit down to write, I struggle a bit, I mean, I have ideas but I can't tell if my writing is good enough. It seems there is so much to learn and so many different opinions about how to be successful. Any advise you can give someone just starting out?

Shea Olsen Hi Victoria!
Some of the best advice I ever got was to write everyday! The second best advice I ever got was to read just as much as you write. Read good stuff, bad stuff, and everything in between. You can learn just as much from poor writing as you can from incredible writing. But most of all, be true to your voice. Only you can write your story. So Keep at it, girl!
