Goodreads asked Shawnee E.:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Shawnee E. Keep your day job and have an organized schedule! Keep your day job to fund your dream of being an author because the money doesn't come right away. At some point that may get in the way of why you write which should be for the love of writing itself (or the love of a good story). If you can be comfortable in your writing you should be! Secondly, most writers will tell you there is no such thing as being organized as a writer. However, you need to know, at least, the basics of your routine. Then, you can map out the times to sneak away to write a juicy tidbit for your next bestseller!
