Goodreads asked M. Matheson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M. Matheson Only write because you have to. I don't mean as an avenue to income, but from some deep inner need to put down for other people to read your thoughts, ideas and observations whether that is in fiction which I believe fills that need best, or non-fiction memoir and historical stories and books.
Fiction does the best job of catheterization of inner thoughts, many you never even knew you had. My first book is a supernatural romp through my heart using fictional characters, but nearly all the events emanate from real events in my life. Even the most horrific ones.
