Robert Banks asked Leah E. Good:

Hey Leah! I've always wanted to write novels and I was hoping you'd be able to give me any advice you'd have to do so? Thanks and God bless!

Leah E. Good Thanks for your question, Robert! My main advice would be to learn, learn, learn. Don't be afraid of stunting your creativity by studying the craft. Read books, read blogs, save up and go to a conference or two.

Secondly, don't loose your joy. Studying the craft of writing will make you realize how much work it is to be a good writer. Find a balance between effort and enjoyment, otherwise you'll burn yourself out.
