Goodreads asked Colin J. Davies:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colin J. Davies Writer write. Don't wait for that bolt of lightening, don't start off thinking your are writing the next best thing. Just write and enjoy it. Do it because you love the idea or you just love writing.
Writers read. Read loads. Read stuff you like and stuff you think you'll hate. Make yourself find the good in something you think is rubbish and something rubbish in you favourite book. And enjoy reading, find out what makes you smile or cry or get scares.
Have fun. Life is to weird to take it seriously.
