Goodreads asked Kathryn Nelson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kathryn Nelson Write.
Like any skill, writing takes practice. Write about different topics in different styles. Experiment. Play. You'll get better with practice.
Also read, and read widely. Learn what you do and don't like, what works well and what doesn't. Analyse why you liked a particular sentence or character or scene. Take the time to appreciate a beautifully crafted sentence.
