Goodreads asked Cheryl Clarke:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cheryl Clarke Just start writing. Set your timer/alarm on your phone for 15 minutes and write. Do that once a day. That's all. Pretty soon, you'll write for 30 minutes...then 45 minutes, because you won't want to stop. And before you know it, you'll have a chapter and then chapTERS. Outlines are really helpful too. They are like a road map to help keep you on course.
