Goodreads asked Zhana:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Zhana Get writing. And keep writing. Read widely in your genre or area(s) of interest. If you run out of steam, read up on other writers and their writing processes, or check out writers' YouTube videos.

Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop. Get really good at writing (giving feedback to other authors helps with this). Discover your own voice and gain confidence so that you are not so reliant on others' opinions. Expect rejection.

Writing is wonderful. To repeat: don't ever give up.
