Goodreads asked B. Romero:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

B. Romero My advice for aspiring writers is to go for it. If you want to write, then write. Commit to it. So many brilliant writers will remain unknown because for whatever reason, we won’t see their work. For me, my fear held me back for a long time. Once I let go of that fear, I found that it wasn’t so bad and that I am much happier doing what I love. Also, to be a good writer, you need to read. Make time to consume books—not to pick them apart, but for enjoyment. Last, get ready for rejection. It may come from publishing companies or one-star reviews, but you can bet that there will be people who don’t like your writing, and each person will have a different reason. You cannot please everyone and do you really want to? Write for you—but write.
