Goodreads asked Ksenia Anske:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ksenia Anske Hole up and write and read every day. Don't go to other writerly get togethers or socials or events or groups or anything of the sort. To find your own voice you have to be one-on-one with yourself. Nobody can help you create your art, you have to learn how to do it on your own. You simply have to write a lot and read a lot every day and trust that through the discipline of doing it you will get better. Reading books about how to write books or listening to other writers telling you what works for them or not can be inspiring but it can also instill doubt in you, like you're doing something wrong. Also, it might make you want to copy what others do, but it will slow down your own growth process. You have to learn to be alone and be okay with it. Good luck!
