Goodreads asked Mark Justice:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mark Justice Don't let fear of what you think you can't do stop you from doing. I kept away from long fiction far too long because I was afraid I'd never write convincing dialogue. When I channeled my writing into movies and wrote three scripts, I realized what I had done - told a story with almost nothing BUT dialogue. That gave me the confidence to push into long fiction. Now that I've written three books, I mourn for the years I let fear dictate what I wrote. Don't do that!
