Goodreads asked Mariska Slieker:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mariska Slieker To don't underestimate it and to keep at it. It sounds really simple to string a few words together, but that doesn't make it a novel. Also in your head, this massive plotline may seem enough to fill 400 something pages, but I find in reality that you need a lot fewer words for things than you picture in your mind.
