Goodreads asked Charles Wachter:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Charles Wachter Write every day, and study the greats. If you are really just starting, find someone you admire and break down their books. It's style, characters, how action and plot merge with character. Really study it, write down your observations. You will notice things that aren't in writing handbooks and it will be specific to your writing ambitions.
