Goodreads asked Debbie Shannon:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Debbie Shannon My teacher, John Dufresne, famously says the first rule of writing is to sit your butt in the chair and write...and wear Velcro pants. Second, read, read, read! You must be a good reading in order to be a good writer. Third, put your character in danger, real danger, and make he/she struggle to reach their goals. Danger+Drama=Good
