Goodreads asked Adele Broadbent:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Adele Broadbent Read lots and find out the stories you like to read - which will be the stories you'd like to write, more often than not. Practice your writing like you would practice and instrument or sport, constantly looking for a better word or description of something.
Enjoy it - if you aren't enjoying it, your readers won't either. Go back to something if it's not working. You'll find the word or phrase you were scratching around in your mind for, is right there ready at the end of your fingertips!
