Goodreads asked Lis McDermott:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lis McDermott If you have an idea, start writing. Don't listen to too many diverse people, otherwise you'll start to second guess yourself. It's too easy to get sidetracked and lose your confidence. Stick to your idea, write, and when you have finished, then ask for help and advice, with an understanding that you probably will have to change certain parts.
If you read anything to help, read Stephen King's 'On Writing'!
