Goodreads asked M. Scott Swanson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M. Scott Swanson Stop outlining it, stop talking about, and start writing it today. Also toughen up Buttercup. The first draft is like having a baby, a huge excitement, but you still have to raise it through the editing process. Disciplining your beautiful child can be painful.
