Goodreads asked Steven McKinnon:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Steven McKinnon Just write.

That's normally what I tell people when they ask. It's also what Max Brooks told me when I asked him at a signing of 'World War Z' not long before the movie came out (part of it was filmed in Glasgow).

As a former 'pantser', I recommend becoming a 'plotter', or at least reading Libbie Hawking's 'Take Off Your Pants!'. It's short, sweet and full of good advice.
