Goodreads asked Cynthia L. Schaefer:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cynthia L. Schaefer Keep writing, reading and growing as a person. Join a writers’ group! My writers’ groups have helped me grow as a writer and entrepreneur. Don’t be afraid to read books in your genre and outside your genre. If you find you are jealous of another writer, read their books and learn from them. You never know where you'll find inspiration. Also, trust your gut. There are many programs out there that prey on authors and want to sell you a dream. Again, trust your gut and don’t buy any program that rushes you to decide. It’s best to pay more later than to buy a program without enough time to make an informed decision.
