Goodreads asked J.K. Brandau:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J.K. Brandau As the line goes from the movie "Throw Momma from the Train," . . .A writer writes always. Before my books, I wrote monographs for my own pleasure and to share. I'd submit articles to historical societies, newsletters, magazines. Writing lab reports that were understandable to laymen definitely honed my writing skills and vice versa. I was never a think-on-my-feet type person and grew up with a severe stutter. That all help me best communicate by writing.
