Goodreads asked C.V. Nór:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

C.V. Nór There are two ways to write a story: the easy way and the hard way. And they both require a lot of work and patience. No simple story will be sellable or of any great success unless the writer dives into its pool and live in its dimension. Success is never thwarted or guaranteed with either approach. The easy way often results in a lighter and more fun narrative, while the hard way, because of all the ideas and plots that go into it, might tank. My story, "For the Empire's Throne," though the child of inspiration, required much thinking of complicated plots, and thus might end up in the bin of forgetfulness, while my lighter prose is the one that might get me the Nobel Prize. So you never know. My advice is write about what you know at first, and use as many simple sentences as you can. Your own particular voice will come. Also read, read, read.
