Goodreads asked N.R. Tupper:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

N.R. Tupper Just do it. Don't let your fears, insecurities or anything else stop you. If you want to write, write! Tell your stories.

Don't be afraid of criticism. It WILL hurt, that's okay. When you're ready, put the hurt aside and see if anything they said was legitimate and use that information to become even better.

Everybody starts at the bottom. Nobody starts as Stephen King. And that's okay. It doesn't mean you shouldn't bother, it just means you need to work at it.
