Goodreads asked Steve Alcorn:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Steve Alcorn Don't waste time trying to write "intuitively." That's a dead end nine times out of ten. Almost all of my students at writingacademy.com describe starting a novel and then getting stuck. It takes a good plan to make it all the way through a novel and be satisfied with the finished manuscript. Your time is valuable, and having the right tools before you start writing will let you make the most of it.
