Goodreads asked C.E. Self:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

C.E. Self Write what you love. Love what you write. If you can read your own work and smile, or get chills, or cry and that was your intention for your reader, then job we'll done.
Find your style. Do you like to be super descriptive of every little thing in your story? Then do it. Just be sure to recognize when enough is enough and too much is too much. I personally find myself at the other extreme. I like to give only the barest of details so my readers can use their own imaginations to fill in any details they think is required. Some are going to like it. Some are going to hate it. That's just fine because I wrote the story I intended.
