Goodreads asked Aila Stephens:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Aila Stephens Be very choosy about what advice you take. How I do something, even if it has proven to work really well for me, may not work for someone else. Don't think that there are many hard and fast rules to writing or any creative career.

And get comfortable with mistakes. You will make them. You'll make lots. You'll get frustrated with yourself and others, and you just have to keep putting words on the page and keep your sights on your goal. Remember there is a delete key.
