Goodreads asked Stuart Stutzman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Stuart Stutzman Write. Even if you don't have anything to say. The physical act of writing can shake ideas out you didn't know you had. But it's also extremely important to be kind and patient with yourself. A lot of what you write won't be any good, and that's totally fine and normal. You don't have to write pages and pages of gold every time you sit down to write; you just have to write. Be persistent. Be patient. Write.
