Goodreads asked Elizabeth Lyons:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Elizabeth Lyons Believe. As Elizabeth Ann West says, "No one is going to come along and anoint you." You have to believe in your message and your story. You have to have faith in your unique ability to tell or share it. Fear is completely normal. A lack of confidence is also completely normal (even for established, best-selling authors; remember, they have a previous book to live up to!).

The world NEEDS your story and your message. Just keep going - one word at a time.
