Goodreads asked Michael C. Cordell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Michael C. Cordell Read anything and everything so you can learn different styles, which can help you find your own voice as you're writing. Focus on the Western canon, as well as works from more current authors and don't limit what genres you explore. Be a sponge and then wring out what you've absorbed in your own work.
