Goodreads asked Saxon Bennett:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Saxon Bennett Just do it. I can't tell you how much crappy stuff I've written. You've got to work through it and practice, practice, practice. I recommend writing something, anything every single day. Okay, you can take Christmas off. But really it's a skill and a craft and those have to be honed. The next thing is to do is read a lot on all sorts of subjects. Observe people. Listen to how they talk and then make up little scenarios. Do this and you'll be the writer you want to be. Be kind to yourself and patient. That's the hardest part.
