Goodreads asked Heidi DuPree:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Heidi DuPree My advice to aspiring writers is to silence the inner critic. There will be plenty of time later to edit your writing. It's not the time to edit yourself AS you are writing! Let it flow and let it go. My second piece of advice is not to follow the advice of others! Certainly consider the advice of others, but ultimately follow your inner wisdom. We all have it. It's just that the inner critic can get so loud your inner wisdom gets drowned out. Do what brings you inner peace so you can hear the voice of your soul- meditate, take a walk, etc.
