Goodreads asked Cara E. Holt:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cara E. Holt Do it! Write often and read often. You learn so much about the craft of writing from reading. Believe in yourself and take that plunge and put your book out there. I know it is scary but trust me it is so worth it. Make links with published authors and see if they will mentor you or offer you any advice and guidance. Read books on publishing and the craft of writing, join a writers group or a facebook group for writers. I have been writing my whole life but it took me years to be brave enough to take that step and publish a book and I have never looked back since.
