Goodreads asked Chip R. Bell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Chip R. Bell This is gonna sound weird…so bare with me! Writing is about joining a magical world of ideas; it is not a relationship to be controlled or directed. Writing is like connecting with a wise friend who only shares when you are willing to listen and to partner. Humility, gratitude and discipline are vital attributes to bring to the creative process. Like friendship, your relationship with the universe of wisdom is directly proportionate to your willingness to make sacrifices on its behalf and be generous in your respect for the creative process. Told you it would be weird…but, it is true!!
