Goodreads asked Tameri Etherton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tameri Etherton First, don't call yourself an aspiring writer. That gives you an out. A writer is someone who writes. You're a writer.

Next, write.

Don't procrastinate. Don't find reasons why you can't write. Sit your butt in a chair and write. And never, ever wait for your muse. As Nora Roberts says, she's a fickle bitch. If you wait around to be inspired, you'll never finish a novel.

Now, go write.
