Goodreads asked Anne Powers:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Anne Powers Start writing. Scribble like your hand is on fire, lay down the most mundane everyday happenings in your journal and then go back and rewrite them over and over, until you feel yourself digging deep and editing and using the most spare but elegant words to tell the simplest stories.
