Goodreads asked T.R. Braxton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

T.R. Braxton My advice for aspiring writers is (to quote a popular song from the '70s) to "do it, do it, do it 'til you're satisfied". Don't let anything stop you from writing if you really feel it in your soul. Also, don't write for money. Strive to make money as a writer, but realize that any money you earn in this punishing pursuit is gravy. Real writers don't write for money. Real writers write because they have a story (or stories) that they can't bear not to share with the largest audience they can find.
