Goodreads asked Sydney Williams:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sydney Williams My advice for any espireing writer is to think about what kinds of books you enjoy reading and what speaks to you and start from there. Characters are important to any story, so think about your characters a lot before you start writing. Who are they? What are their lives like? What do they look like? What kind of person are they are with other people? A good outline is important for any writer. It helps to organise your information and makes it easier to map out your story into chapters. Try and pick out time every day to get in even a paragraph or two. Consistancy is very important when writing a novel.
