Goodreads asked M.C. Burnell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M.C. Burnell In my opinion, there's no such thing: you're a writer or you aren't. If you believe you belong in the former category, take up your pen/ pencil/ word processor, and BECOME. Inspiration rarely strikes from out of the blue, and craft and voice develop thanks to practice. Expect going in that, in early attempts, your prose will be dull, your ideas derivative, your plot full of holes. Then you'll improve. Go forth, creative types, and create!
