Goodreads asked S.L. Thorne:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

S.L. Thorne think about stories. Make up characters, their backgrounds, think about their personalities. Fall in love with them. Make sure they have flaws, but are likeable in spite of them. Make your villains not pure evil and malicious, give them reasons to do what they do, and most importantly, know why they do what they do. Remember that even Hilter loved someone. Then, when you know the people, write the story. Just tell it in your own voice, or the characters' voices.
