Goodreads asked Tess Scott:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tess Scott I knew I needed to write but I was scared. Carol Kent told me (from the platform in a large room of people but I swear she was looking square in my face - as i cowered in the back row) DO IT SCARED.
That's my advice for you.
Do it scared.
