Goodreads asked Alex Martin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alex Martin Don't hold back. Don't put it off. Go after that muse. It might be as elusive as a butterfly but you'll never catch it unless you chase it. It won't come and find you during your displacement activities.
Plus, find a peer review site for others to critique your work and where you can learn from critiquing theirs. I learned a huge amount from the generous contributors on www.youwriteon.com.
