Goodreads asked Mara Purl:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mara Purl I speak about this quite frequently at writers' conferences. First, write regularly, let the writing flow, set aside time and space to write. Second, write about things that truly matter to you. Otherwise, your writing endeavors won't be sustainable, because you'll get bored with them and disengage. Third, read other authors and support them by posting your comments and attending their events if you possibly can.
