Goodreads asked Ruthie Henrick:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ruthie Henrick My best advice is to write. Every day write something, even if it's a scenery description or a facial expression or a short piece of dialogue. And read. A lot! Pick apart what the author is doing with her writing that makes you like or dislike the story or the characters. Take workshops and do the homework. It's free critique from (generally) published authors and worth its weight in gold. Good luck :)
