Goodreads asked Colleen Farrelly:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colleen Farrelly Read a lot of books on the craft. Many authors and editors have written wonderful guides to help young writers delve more deeply into the technical and aesthetic aspects of writing, and these guides can take your writing to the next level.

Read widely in your genre. You'll pick up techniques and ideas from other writers and see those pieces creep into your own writing. It's a bit like osmosis.
