Goodreads asked Darlene Quinn:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Darlene Quinn
Follow your passion. Write the kind of book you'd like to read. Join other writers. Attend a writer's conference for a crash course and join a local writers' group. Listen to critique group members. If they point out a problem, they are usually right. If they tell you how to fix it, they are usually wrong. Treat critique groups as a salad bar. Select only what works for you.
