Goodreads asked Lynda Filler:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lynda Filler I remember Anne Lamott writing in Bird by Bird, you have stop writing as if your mother is reading over your shoulder. It's true isn't it? For those who write memoirs, or want to write explicit content, in the back of your minds you here THAT voice.
Just write! And write some more.
And always know that if you have the desire to write, then you have inside yourself something that the world needs to hear. You never know when you are writing that something you might say could change someone's life for the better.
So write my friend, simply write.
