Goodreads asked Claire Wingfield:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Claire Wingfield Don't feel you have to have all the answers at once. Your work will have many paths, revisions and refinements. When you get stuck, share your work. Your reader's feedback and engagement will replenish your creative energy, draw your attention to more questions that need answers and spur you on. Don't be put off if feedback provokes a strong and not necessarily pleasant response initially - it can take some practice to get used to your words and ideas feeling 'under the microscope'.
