Goodreads asked Kyle Andrews:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kyle Andrews Just work on building the writing part of your brain. Write fan fiction for TV shows and try to capture the voices of the familiar characters. Or just write a simple conversation between two people and see where it goes. Great characters will tell you their story once you get to know them. When you're starting, focus on them. A good character exists beyond the scope of the one story that you're telling about their lives. Understanding how they talk to their best friend or sibling over coffee can go a long way in figuring out how they will react to finding a dead body, or what type of person they would fall in love with.
