Goodreads asked B. Davis Kroon:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

B. Davis Kroon Read. And here's a story: A friend of mine teaches pottery in a two-week summer camp for artists. She always begins by telling her new class... "Welcome to the pottery class. I hope you'll have fun. I hope you've brought some fresh ideas with you. But a word of advice: don't expect to go home with a set of dishes."

Advice to writers: read. And write. But don't expect to dash off a best-selling novel your first try.
