Goodreads asked Jayne Barnard:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jayne Barnard Write not what you know, but FROM what you know, from what you are already interested in and passionate about. No matter what direction or dimension your story takes off into, you'll be writing from a sound base, which will give your words that unmistakable ring of confidence. Further, any research you must do to confirm or correct details will be enjoyable because it's already something you're interested in.
