Goodreads asked Grant Finnegan:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Grant Finnegan If you are serious about writing a novel - learn how to do it through a course, or books written on how you can learn the craft. Be prepared for long hours sitting at your computer - alone. I do it because I enjoy it. Unless you are extremely talented and it all falls directly on your lap, be prepared for a long journey, hours upon hours of writing, editing, and more writing and editing. But if you stick to it, you may end up getting rewarded at the end by completing a novel, and have people love reading it.
The most important question you need to ask yourself, I would suggest right at the start is simply this - how bad do you want this?
