Goodreads asked P.H.T. Bennet:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

P.H.T. Bennet Read, read, read. Then use the style, characters, or settings from one of your favorite books as a place to start. Every great artist has started by imitating their heroes, but don't worry: you'll end up becoming some other young writer's hero if you let your characters show you where they want to go.
