Goodreads asked David Rough:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Rough I am an aspiring writer. I am more in need of advice than I am an advisor. I am not a director but rather I am looking for direction – not a coach but a rookie; not a sage but a student; not an expert but a novice.

My counsel to myself is to be open, to learn, to be willing to take a risk, to be honest and real, to be myself, to speak my mind, to love others, to bring glory to God, to take a stand. I need lots of practice. I need to write as often as I can, so I blog and write reviews and work on a book several times a week. I need to think and meditate and pray before I write.
