Goodreads asked Chloe Testa:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Chloe Testa It's a long hard slog at times. You will hate what you've written. You will hate yourself. You will want to give up. You may even given up entirely. For a while. But never give up completely. Take some time away from your writing and reassess, mull everything over and just get away from the screen or the page. Otherwise you lose yourself in the minutiae and forget the bigger picture. Writing needs to be your passion and your biggest addiction, but like any great love affair, you also need to know when to step back and give yourself some breathing room so that you can come back to your love renewed and ready to develop further.
