Goodreads asked Elizabeth C. Robinson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Elizabeth C. Robinson Don't write for anyone but yourself! Don't write to impress an imaginary critic or what the TV anchors say is your audience. Don't worry about whether or not an agent/publisher will like it. Write something YOU LIKE. Odds are if you like it, someone else will, too! The worst thing you could do is try to imitate something/someone else, because that will always lead to a lack of passion and experience.
