Goodreads asked Tim Merriman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tim Merriman Write something for someone if you want to be a writer. Write regularly in a blog about an area of interest for you. Write short pieces for some audience. Get feedback and listen to it. Find a friend with editing skills or hire one to look at your work. Thoughtful, critical, encouraging feedback is important.
