Goodreads asked Colleen Coleman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colleen Coleman Write as much as you can regularly. Enter competitions. Don't worry so much about what you are writing, just write through until you have dissolved some self-consciousness and you start to feel some flow. Read what you'd like to write and simply, have a go. Write a chapter, describe a scene. Get started, buy a lovely notebook and a fancy pen and begin.
