Goodreads asked karl levy:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

karl levy My belief is that if one experiences a subject then one can write about it. This may take any form. For example to write Sinarth I took the bus trips and train trips that were described. I went and talked to people involved in the experiences. If somebody was writing a science fiction book obviously that would be impossible, but if one discusses ideas with people on chat boards, reads books, talks to friends then narrative and stories can be developed. Life is stranger than fiction so if one takes apart then there are endless stories. Find out what is important in a situation, look at it form different angles.
