Goodreads asked Frances Maureen Richardson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Frances Maureen Richardson Find writers whose work you love -- the very best writers (life is short!) and study their work. What drew you to it? Are you intrigued by plot, attracted to character, fascinated by mood? Well, how did your favorite writers blueprint plot, address character, establish mood? And practice, practice, practice writing. Write something every day, no matter how trivial it may seem at the time. The only way to grow as a writer is to write.
