Goodreads asked R.L. Herron:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.L. Herron If you really want to write, the best advice I can give you is READ! Read everything you can. Read the work of authors you enjoy. But don't just read their book and put it aside. Study it to understand what it is about their writing style that makes the story engaging to you. Once you understand it, put the same care into your own stories down until they shine! There's no better way to learn the craft.
