Goodreads asked Julía Bade:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Julía Bade There is one answer you will always hear as an aspiring writer- keep aspiring! Don't EVER give up. But be bold enough to know that if your current formula isn't working, don't be afraid to try and change it; for example, you can network with all the incredible supportive authors out on social media, you can find local writing groups online or in your city to read your work and offer advice or help with plotting. You can take classes even... but the key is that you KEEP writing. So many people tell me, I want to write a book, but I don't know how! I tell them, the book isn't going to write itself! Even if you start off with a short story, just write!
