Goodreads asked P.L. Blair:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

P.L. Blair Sit down and write! Don't wait for "the Muse" to knock on the door. Think about the kind of book you want to write - and what kinds of books you like to read. That's your starting point if you don't already have an idea firm in your mind. Grab an image to get your brain engaged, then start writing. Books are a lot like life. They're about cause and effect, action/reaction. Something happens. How do your characters respond to the event? That's your plot - or the start of one. Equally important - Have faith in yourself!
