Goodreads asked Amanda Howard:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Amanda Howard Write and read. Not just your own work, but anything you can get your hands on. You never know when inspiration will hit, so read, research, write, practice, critique your own work and ask for a critique from others, it is important to have someone look at your work and help you with some constructive evaluation. A first draft is never good, it takes a long time to get it from a draft to the final product, don't be afraid tear it to shreds if that is what is needed. Just keep going at it.
