Goodreads asked Carol Grace Stratton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Carol Grace Stratton Write for yourself. Write like no one else will ever read your work. Then when you work up your courage, share your writing with a trusted friend. As you develop your confidence, strike out and offer your writings for free. Newsletters, free giveaway women's magazines and various non-profit organization are always looking for material.

Finally, find other writers. We need each other; writing is difficult, lonely, exhausting, frustrating and full of self-doubt. When you network and develop friends, it will keep you on the road to publication.
