Goodreads asked R.A. Nelson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.A. Nelson First, READ - widely, deeply, often.

Second, WRITE - every day, even if it's a few scattered sentences in a journal or a paragraph that you know you'll revise completely tomorrow or a poem that you throw in the trash immediately afterwards. Write.
