Goodreads asked Blake Powell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Blake Powell To remove the 'aspiring' tagline from their mind and just start. You don't become a professional by merely thinking, but doing. Taking small but consistent steps daily will launch you towards the success you crave (think 100 words, not 1000). Start with 15-minute sprints when you can and work up from there. If you have an established habit of writing, it'll be a lot easier to keep going on those hard days when the going gets tough.
