Goodreads asked F.M. Burgett:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

F.M. Burgett Write what you love to read. Read and study your favorite authors. What makes their books so good? Learn how to visualize a story so that you can show the reader instead of telling them. Above all, read, read, read.

Never give up your dream of writing. It is a long, slow, hard path to tread but worth it even if only one person ever reads your book or comments on it. Never get discouraged, never let go of the dream.
