Goodreads asked Colin R. Parsons:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colin R. Parsons The answer to this is simple, and old advice. You've got to read lots and lots of different books and magazines. The more you read the better your writing becomes. I love what George RR Martin once said. 'Start with short stories and work up to novels. He said something like; 'you can't start learning to climb, by trying to conquer Everest.'
