Goodreads asked John Watson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

John Watson Read as much as you can. It's one of the best ways to learn about plotting, story structure, and much more. No matter how many rejections you receive, and you will receive them, keep writing. I was 51 years old before I had my first novel published.
