Goodreads asked Patrick Anderson Jr.:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Patrick Anderson Jr. My advice for aspiring writers has always been the same, whether I was talking to one of my students or just somebody looking to get into the industry: 1) keep writing, everyday, no matter what; and 2) don't ever give up. Keep submitting, keep taking criticism, and keep getting better. It's a process, and there's one thing all writers have in common, whether it's a high school sophomore writing his first short story or Stephen King working on his 60th novel: they all had to start somewhere.
