Goodreads asked F.E. Feeley Jr.:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

F.E. Feeley Jr. RUN AWAY! Kidding. Write. But write from your heart. Write something that speaks to you. There is so much fluff out there, so much mind numbing 'written in the style of this,' etc. Stop.
Be different, say something, there is something in your life in your own experiences that makes or would make your story unique. Hit there, don't be afraid to get personal, don't be afraid to dust out the dark corners of your heart, you'll touch someone, I promise.
