Goodreads asked Sam Quinones:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sam Quinones Sounds trite, but you have to write. It helps enormously to find a job that pays you to write - which is why journalism is so important. Like poetry, journalism also forces you, or should, to pay close attention to how you use words and express ideas. Also, don't think of any first draft you write - to a novel or an email - as done. Writing is rewriting - always.
