Goodreads asked Amber Foxx:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Amber Foxx Write every day. Don't wait to be inspired, just write. Describe some tiny detail in your environment as if you'd never seen it before, record an encounter with an interesting or annoying person, tell a story from the point of view of your dishes--anything, as long as you write. Read books on writing. And join a writers' organization for your genre. The best decision I ever made as a writer was to join Sisters in Crime a few years ago while I was still working on the first draft of my first book, (even though my mysteries are not about murder and crime). This group has helped me learn my craft, and through them I've found critique partners, a great editor and a wonderful cover artist. SinC continues to give me access to support and education I couldn't get anywhere else.
