Goodreads asked Stephen P. Hinshaw:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Stephen P. Hinshaw Practice, practice, practice--that is, write, write, write!

And get feedback from those you trust. What's clear, what's opaque? What 'sounds' good when it's read? What's too much, in terms of description or information; and what's too little (you don't want readers to guess)?

Finally, never give up!
