Goodreads asked Lori Colwell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lori Colwell It's funny you should ask. Just write. You figure everything else out along the way and it's an incredible ride to be able to manipulate words, molding them into the image that you've created inside your own mind. To add texture, a scent, a taste, a feeling and share that experience with everyone and anyone who can relate, its magical.
However, for value's sake, the one piece I wish someone would have shared with me is to submit your work for reviews prior to publishing.

Bottom line is that once it's published: Lots of people read but few review. I'm just as guilty.
