Goodreads asked Zenobia Renquist:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Zenobia Renquist Know your characters. Everyone does everything for a reason unless they are a psychopath and even then there's some sort of motivation. Just because it sounds cool is never a reason to have a character do something. When you know everything there is to know about your characters (whether those details make it into the story or not), you can create a believable character that readers will love.
