Goodreads asked David Atkinson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Atkinson Just keep writing - Like most things the more you do it the better you get - and seek a professional opinion when you've finished your first draft - someone you are paying to give you a proper critique is much better than friends or relatives who will NOT tell you what they really think in case it causes problems or because they don't want to hurt your feelings.
