Goodreads asked Kate Braithwaite:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kate Braithwaite For the longest time I wanted to be a writer but didn't know what I could/would or should write about - and so I didn't write. This was a mistake! If you are in the same boat, don't do what I did. Find craft books or writing prompts on the internet. Take a course. Find a local writing group. Write. The biggest thing I've learned is that writing is a craft. We learn every time we try to write something new - whether it's about point of view, or dialogue or pacing or whatever - and writing is a journey. Put grand aspirations and dreams of publication on one side. Do the work!!
