Goodreads asked Diamante Lavendar:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Diamante Lavendar Don't be held back by unrealistic expectations-from yourself or others.
If you want to write, do your best. If you're happy with the outcome, that's all that matters. Nothing and no one is perfect. If you find that you've made mistakes, go back and correct them.
Be free in your writing. Don't let others define you. Create your own definition of who you wish to be as a writer and be it!
