Goodreads asked Cat Ravenelle:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cat Ravenelle Just do it. What is the WORST thing that can happen? No one reads your words. A bad review. You have to work a part-time job like I do. Follow your dharma. I only have one book published so far and it is as if I gave birth. DO IT. Don't be a wuss. Sit down and write your heart out. Write as if it is your last day on the planet. Write as if you are on a mission from God. Seriously, if a handful of people read your words and it has a positive effect, WIN.
