Goodreads asked Roxanna Rose:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Roxanna Rose Stop using the word "aspiring" because that's what you will continue to be. If you start to tell yourself and the world, "I am a writer," then you WILL be a writer. Of course, then you must write something and finish it. Make it the best story you can create, send it to an editor, get it published (traditional or Indie, doesn't matter), and then write something else. That is how a writer becomes an author. You must believe in yourself before anyone else will believe in you.
