Goodreads asked Keith R. Fentonmiller:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Keith R. Fentonmiller Try to figure out what you don't know, which probably is a lot. Read as much and as widely as you can, so you can internalize different styles of writing. Take writing workshops, but develop a filter for criticism, which is not always helpful. Join a local community of writers and exchange your work on a regular basis. Thicken your skin, because criticism and rejection are inevitable. The good thing is they also make you stronger.
