Goodreads asked Bud Shaw:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bud Shaw Start young, read constantly, seek honest critique, reject the advice that feels utterly erroneous, but accept that which cuts you deep with its accuracy. Remove adjectives and adverbs from your life in order to see the truth of it, and your sentences might become more interesting. Be merciless toward your writing but maintain empathy for the writer.
