Goodreads asked Amy Shojai:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Amy Shojai The secret is a button. Choose a button, hold it in your hand, keep it in your pocket, as a constant reminder of the single most important thing you must do to succeed as a writer:

Put your butt-on that chair and WRITE! *s*

Second, and equally important, rather than write what you know...write what you LOVE, write what makes your breath quicken, your heart swell, eyes prick with emotion, causes laugh-out-loud delight--write the book you've always wanted to read.
