Goodreads asked Kevin Sterling:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kevin Sterling Treat your writing like a business, whether you have the luxury of a full-time gig or if you're only able to write during the evenings and weekends. That means setting regimented times to write, to market, to blog, etc. Make to-do lists, set specific goals and achieve them one by one. No one will ever finish a book by writing whenever they get around to it. There are so many distractions in life, and because writing and creating is hard work, it’s so easy to gravitate toward other things and “get to the writing later”. Discipline is the key.
