Goodreads asked Shelley Kassian:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Shelley Kassian As the president of the Calgary chapter of RWA, I'd suggest joining a writing group for mentorship and support. It's a lonely occupation sitting at your computer, day after day, writing. It's fantastic to have the friendship and community of other writers/colleagues, who understand the isolation and loneliness an aspiring writer may feel. All this being said, the most important advice for a writer is TO WRITE. No stories will emerge without fingers at the keyboard.
