Goodreads asked Laurie L.C. Lewis:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Laurie L.C. Lewis Get started. Get a little notebook to jot down things that inspire you--settings, expressions, people and their characteristics, questions and plot ideas. Everything that stirs your imagination. Then outline. You'll be amazed how your bits and pieces will come together. Be brave and connect with other writers who will give you honest feedback and support. And know who your writing for. Your writing is just as valid and valuable if its intended audience is your family and friends rather than the world. But whatever you write, make it your best. Your very best, because your satisfaction will be comparable to the effort you made to stretch and grow in the craft.
