Goodreads asked Abby Gordon:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Abby Gordon Always carry a small notebook and pen. Jot down ideas as they come to you. Trust me - you'll forget and it will drive you nuts!
Don't force a story. Your readers will know. If it's not flowing, step back, work on something else.
Try to be consistent - a certain time every day for even thirty minutes gives you discipline.
Move - exercise isn't just good for the body. It helps clear your mind and let the stories flow through you. (was that too much like Yoda?)
