Goodreads asked Skylar Hamilton Burris:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Skylar Hamilton Burris 1. Persist. Publication is about 40% talent and 60% persistence.
2. Read. The more you read, the better a writer you will become.
3. Daydream. Daydreaming can be the source of much inspiration.
4. Write for fun. Not everything has to be a project. If you write for fun, eventually, you may be able to turn one of your pieces into a work worthy of publication. Even if you don't, you will at least have enjoyed yourself!
