Goodreads asked Daniel J. Strait:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Daniel J. Strait Don't give up on your story. Think about it, develop it. When you can see it in your head, write it down. Describe what you see in your mind that way your readers will see the same thing. I have learned not to go overboard with too much detail. Dialogue is huge keep your characters flowing. I am by far not the best writer out there, but I'd like to think that I am learning a great deal as I go through the process over and over again. Stay true to yourself.
