Goodreads asked Phaedra Patrick:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Phaedra Patrick Carry a notebook and write when you can - waiting for a train, for your bath to run, on your commute. You'll soon have pages of notes and a good start to your novel.

Only you can do this. No-one will wave a magic wand and grant you more time. You're probably so accustomed to giving your time to your friends, work and family, that you have to be a little selfish and think of yourself and what you want to do.
