A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Rick Riordan:

Dear Rick Riordan, I really would like to become an author, but coming up with entirely new ideas which are completely my own and putting ideas down on paper properly seem extremely difficult for me. I do not know how to improve, do you have any suggestions? (P-S: Thank you for your beautiful books, they are my happiness)

Rick Riordan I have a bunch of advice for writers on my website here: http://www.rickriordan.com/about/advi... but it boils down to this: read a lot and write a lot. The only way to improve is practice. Easy to say. Very hard to do. Good luck!
