Goodreads asked E.Michael Helms:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E.Michael Helms READ a LOT in the genre you want to write. Pay close attention to punctuation, dialogue, and how stories are structured. Use active verbs, and show more than tell. Put your characters "on stage" and let them act out the story.
