Hi Monica! I adore your books. Do you have any advice to give to an aspiring writer? I just finished my first book and would love to receive any advice you may have! You're one of my favorite writers! I look up to you so much :)

Hi Chelsea,
Thanks for the sweet words. I say you've jumped the first major hurdle - you actually finished the book. Congratulations! Now go write another one. That was the realization I needed when I first started writing. When I finished my first book (and it was awful, I can say that now), I thought to myself, "Hey I can DO this." And that's the most important thing. So go ahead and write another book. Keep going, keep writing, keep learning. Writers can always learn more and grow - it's a never ending process.
Good luck to you! xo
