Goodreads asked Jeff Greenwald:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jeff Greenwald Stick to a schedule. Put aside 20 minutes -- or an hour, or two hours -- of every day to write. And do it the same time every day. Stick to this exercise, even if it means just looking at your fingers twitching above the keyboard. Learning how to write well is no harder or easier than learning how to play the clarinet. And remember that even Phillip Roth only ever aspired to writing one good paragraph a day. One good paragraph a day feels pretty good, actually.
