Jade Saul asked Julia Ash:

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

Julia Ash Hi Jayson! Great question. Everyone "comes to the table" with different gifts and talents, as well as different levels of knowledge. For me, I started writing novels long before my published, debut novel (The One and Only). In reflection, I wish I had understood the structure (the acts and plot points of every great story) prior to beginning to craft a story. Without this knowledge, it's like building a house without an architectural plan which assures the dwelling is stable and sound!!! (My first two manuscripts are collecting dust because I wrote these stories before I understood structure!) Other than that, my advice is always to... never give up, as long as you're loving what you do!
