Goodreads asked Holly Isle:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Holly Isle Try it out. It's not for everyone. Many hobbies come and go in life and for some writing is one of them. Some people think they want to be a writer but they are not motivated to stick with it. There are a couple kinds of writers, those who MUST write because something inside them drives them to, and those who can only feel inspired when they have regular encouragement, feedback or input. The only way you can know if you are truly meant to be a writer is to try it out and see how it fits. If you find that you ARE meant to be a writer, but you struggle all the time? Welcome to being a writer.
