Goodreads asked E.A. Shanniak:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E.A. Shanniak You are your own worst enemy. Don't discurage or discredit yourself. You don't know what you're capable of until you just do it. Take that leap, write that book, hit the publish button. Just do it. I used to let my insecurities hold me back. I thought I was nothing. But last year, 06/26/2017 my husband said to me "Baby, I believe in you. Why are you allowing your parents who abused you to still rule your head? I know you can do this." And he was right. I was allowing my parents control my brain, I allowed their callous words to keep me from my dream. And it was wrong. And I was mad at myself. So I submitted Jordie, it got accepted and here I am. So do not be your own worst enemy. Spread your wings, give all the haters the middle finger and soar baby soar!!!
