Goodreads asked Michele Tracy Berger:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Michele Tracy Berger Get writing support. If I hadn’t have found my writing teacher, Marjorie Hudson almost 7 years ago, I would have probably given up on writing. I didn’t have a strong writing community before that and I was worse off for it. Now, I have a writing buddy that I meet with once a month for support, a monthly writing group where we share drafts of our work, and am part of several online writing communities. Find people who can nurture your interests and vice versa. Take writing classes, go to public readings and attend conferences when you can afford it.
