Lorena asked Gail Carson Levine:

My mother and I read Ella Enchanted together when I was six years old. It inspired me more than I can say. I'm twenty-two now and I still return to Ella, like to an old friend, for comfort and encouragement. Thank you for your work. It's played a huge role in my aspirations to become a writer. Any words of wisdom for a novice?

Gail Carson Levine I always say that the quality a writer needs most is patience. It's also best not to be too self-critical. But if you check out my blog you'll find a lot of advice. Good luck with your writing!
