Goodreads asked H.R. Kemp:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

H.R. Kemp If you want to be a writer, you must write. People often say they would love to write a novel someday, but the only way that will happen is if you sit down and do it. It’s not easy, and I think you never stop learning, but that aspiration can only be realised with ‘perspiration’.

I think the craft of writing can be learned. It’s the dedication and desire or passion which is innate. Some people have a natural storytelling gift, but like with any endeavour, it’s what you do with your talents, your willingness to learn, and practice, that decides your success.
