Goodreads asked Alexia Praks:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alexia Praks You gotta love making up stories. You have got to have passion for it. If you don't, you're going to lose it because it's going to be hard with the ups and downs and the writer's block and the doubt that your work isn't good enough etc. I'm still a newbie myself, and I have doubt in my work. The reason I keep going is because I love writing and creating stories. And I also hope that other people will love my work, too. Oh yeah, and the bad reviews and the trolls. They will hurt you when you read them. Best advice, toughen up and move on. Life is too short. Get on with the next book and make it awesome ^_^
