Goodreads asked J. Lynn Rowan:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J. Lynn Rowan Write. Start building an online presence and an author platform now, even if you don't have anything published (or in line to be published). Don't just talk about writing - show that you're a multi-dimensional person.

Write more.

Edit well, and then have others look at your work with fresh eyes.

Take all criticism with a grain of salt, but also take it with grace and an open mind.

Keep writing.
