Goodreads asked L.A. Nettles:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

L.A. Nettles Always show/share your work to people. Don't hide it. Criticism is your friend. You may not like what you hear, but you need to hear it. It allows you to see a different perspective and update/edit for the benefit of making your story better. Beta Readers/Editors always help improve the story. My friends read my work to encourage me, but I needed unbiased criticism. Having strangers read your 'erotica' is somewhat humorous, because they never edit the 'sex scenes'.
