Goodreads asked Charity Becker:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Charity Becker Sit down and write. Doesn't matter if it's crap, keep writing. The only way to get better is to keep at it, keep trying. You have to train your muse, your brain, your fingers--all of it needs to learn how to work together to create your worlds and your characters. That takes practice and patience. Oh, and HIRE AN EDITOR! Even if you think you don't need one, YOU DO. Every writer needs at least one professional editor; I have three!
