Goodreads asked Stephen B. Page:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Stephen B. Page Don't just write. Study books on how to write a good novel or how to write non-fiction. Study Grammar books.

When I wrote my only novel, I had written the entire book and then I studied books on how to make a novel better. I learned some important advice that changed my entire book. I learned that I needed a "death" at the end of each chapter, or something dramatic (not death in the true sense of someone dying) to entice readers to go to the next chapter.
