Goodreads asked Lela Markham:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lela Markham Read everything you can get your hands on. Write every day. Find a group of other writers to be beta readers and get involved. Go do something else from time to time. If you've never lived, it's hard to have anything interesting to write about.
