Goodreads asked Jeffrey Eaton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jeffrey Eaton Push oneself to go AGAINST or BEYOND one's first impulse. Meaning, our first impulses are often the most pat. Truly interesting mystery writing, I believe, makes the reader subtly believe they know what is about to happen, then takes the story in a sudden, unexpected turn.
