Goodreads asked Jonathan Carroll:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jonathan Carroll My advice to aspiring writes is to KEEP WRITING. Only you can tell your story, the story is in you and for it to be told right you have to tell it. Get the raw story down on paper and then build yourself a strong team of friends and readers that can help do the initial first rounds of edits. Work shop your project with a trusted group of other writes.editors and avid readers. Find writing support workshops and groups to keep you inspired and moving forward. Hold yourself accountable and create timelines with milestones and track your progress and commit to yourself that you are going to follow it. So when creating those timelines make them realistic and achievable.
