Goodreads asked Idabel Allen:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Idabel Allen Just write. Put everything you have down on paper. Work at developing your craft. Don’t worry if most of what you write in the beginning ends up in the garbage can. The bits and pieces that you hold onto are the blocks you build with. Give yourself time to develop and know that no one can truly tell you how to write your story. Only you have that vision. You have to trust your instincts.
