Goodreads asked Peter Derk:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Peter Derk Stop aspiring and start writing. I know, that's really easy. But all that stuff, reading about writing, reading advice, taking classes - look, all the verbs there, none of them are "write."

Oh, and finish stuff. Start something, and then finish it. You learn a lot more from finishing something than you do from starting something new every time you run low on steam.
