Goodreads asked Patrick Taylor:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Patrick Taylor When you have an idea for a story, write it. Sit down & put the words on paper, so to speak. Write as freely & quickly as possible; do not rewrite or edit or correct until you have the whole story down on paper. Write for a one-person audience... even if that's yourself. Immerse yourself in the project & enjoy watching the story reveal itself.
