Goodreads asked Marisol Charbonneau:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Marisol Charbonneau Just write. Even if you think it's awful. Even if you think you're not ready. Even if you don't have any prospective publishers yet. Go to conventions and try to meet other writers. They will often have great advice for novices, and will be more than happy to share their acquired wisdom.
Read. A lot. As many genres as humanly possible.
And don't be afraid to spend a lot of time doing your research. The quality of your work will show it in the end.
