Goodreads asked Melanie Sumner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Melanie Sumner Read really good books. Study grammar. Throw stuff out in revision. If you want to, you can keep it in a file labeled, "Boneyard."

So much of writing is about finishing the damn thing. The rest is about revision.
