Goodreads asked Caro Bégin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Caro Bégin They say everyone's got a book in them... That may be true, but it takes a lot of self-discipline to put one's thoughts down on paper, then a lot of courage to go through it and delete, rewrite, and edit one's way through the first draft. And then repeat the process... until it's ready for publication. But if you WANT to do it, there's never been a better time than now. Get your bum in a chair and work at it every day. Keep reading books in your genre and pick up a few 'writing' books that speak to you. Don't worry about following someone else's system. Learn what others are doing, then create your own system. Write. Write. Write.
