Goodreads asked Gillian Larkin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Gillian Larkin Just keep writing, even if it's only a few lines. You get better each time you write. Don't forget to have fun with your writing, and don't take negative reviews to heart. I was taught that if I had nothing positive to say to someone, then I shouldn't say anything. Read lots of books of course, in many genres, and keep a note of all the expressions the writer uses that you like, you can use your own version in your writing.
