Goodreads asked Mary Alice Monroe:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mary Alice Monroe Finish your book! Too often inexperienced writers polish and polish the first three chapters and never finish the book. Finish the first draft, no matter how rough, and know that you will rewrite it several times. And, always keep writing.
