Goodreads asked Jim Kroepfl:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jim Kroepfl Go to your bookshelf or that pile of books by your bed and determine what kind of story you love to read, whether that's fantasy, science fiction, romance, etc. If you write a novel, you're going to spend so much time in that world, it had better be the kind of story you really enjoy. Also, really spend some time thinking about your story. Make sure it really has something interesting and thought-provoking to grab a reader's interest. But, above all, make your readers care!
