Goodreads asked Debra Anne Wintsmith:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Debra Anne Wintsmith Don't aspire. If you are a writer, you will write. If you aspire to be published that is a different thing than being an aspiring writer. Publishing requires different talents than writing, and that is not what this question is about. If you aspire, you aren't a writer. If you write, you are a writer.
