Goodreads asked Nick Sweeney:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nick Sweeney Learn the basics of the language you're writing in, and then get to advanced stage in that language.

Read good books in the genre you want to write in, and also read more widely, in other genres. If you want to write in English or French, you really have to read a lot, as nothing else will teach your how their spelling systems work.

Always write, even if you don't really feel like it.
