Goodreads asked Brainard Carey:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Brainard Carey Go for it! Start with just a title, then write a one paragraph summary of the book. Then stop. Then the next day write down the names of 12 chapters. The next day, write a summary for each chapter (what will be covered) then begin to fill in the blanks.
