Goodreads asked Trayner Bane:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Trayner Bane Don’t think so much about the process of getting words on paper or the final result. For me, writing comes from deep within. Some may say deep within the soul. Wherever you feel it comes from, you need to find that connection and learn how that connection works with your emotions and your mind. For example, when you close your eyes can you see what you want to write? Not the words, but the imagery. When you close your eyes can you feel the emotions you want to express? If you can learn how these connections work, the process of writing will follow.
