Goodreads asked Cory Martin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cory Martin Write. Then live. Then write again. Then live some more. Then keep writing. The biggest piece of advice a teacher ever gave me was to write from experience, but if you're stuck behind your computer all day then what kind of experience will you have to draw from? That's why I say you must live your life to its most extreme, live in the places you always dreamed of, let your imagination run wild, say yes to all opportunity, be open to change and the impossible. If you can do all this and still have that dying urge to continue to write then you know you're on the right path.
