Goodreads asked F.C. Schaefer:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

F.C. Schaefer It is true: read, read, read, write write write. And by reading, read everything, fiction and nonfiction both, and not just the genre you want to write. Write often and always, try writing reviews, not just on Goodreads, but Amazon-I post at least one review a month on IMDb. It's really good practice in expressing yourself, but it's also in a public forum where you will get some notice. Writing everyday will also give you a chance to hone your grammar skills, something that must be done constantly.
