Goodreads asked Maya Deane:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Maya Deane Study technique carefully. Know exactly what you're trying to do, and when you can't pull it off, try to figure out who could. Then try to figure out how they'd do it, and practice,

This is easier said than done. But writing IS NOT a magic power that comes from nowhere. (It's a magic power that comes from careful and systematic practice.)
