Goodreads asked Paula Johnson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Paula Johnson Please stop. You probably have some great story ideas and I don't need any more competition.

Just kidding.

My advice is to set aside a bit of time each day for writing, even if it's only 20 minutes. Make it a habit, like flossing. Skimming writing sites, attending conferences, and listening to podcasts about writing/publishing may be helpful, but none of those activities are writing. Writing is what makes you a writer.
