Goodreads asked Robb Grindstaff:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Robb Grindstaff Write. Just sit down and write. Doesn't matter if it's any good. Read great writers, in and out of your preferred genre. Read those books twice -- one to enjoy it, and once more to analyze how the writer did what they did. Study the craft of writing continually. But then keep writing. All that stuff you can learn from others will only get put to use through muscle memory from doing. You can't learn to play the piano by listening to music, reading books about the piano, and watching videos about how to play the piano unless you're also sitting down at the piano every day to practice what you learn.
