Goodreads asked Lily Gardner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lily Gardner Write every day, even if you can only commit to five minutes a day. And as Anne Lamott advises, allow yourself a shitty draft. Otherwise you'll find yourself tinkering with the first chapter for years and never get your story written.
