Goodreads asked Mark R. Anderson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mark R. Anderson Great question! Writers have to find their own ways to stay motivated to write. I believe that a truly exciting idea or storyline will make you want to get it on paper. When that happens, it is easy to write. However, in our fast-paced Information age it is almost impossible to stay focused. Writing demands focus. Spend a lot of time in the creative phase thinking about your basic idea. Is there conflict? Does some element need resolution? Is it something that we all relate to? After that, start writing. Do not expect too much too fast, but if you allocate time to it routinely, before you know it, you will have a book. Good luck.
