Goodreads asked Oskar Östlund:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Oskar Östlund Just do it. If you have the creative spark to concoct a story of your own, write it down—whether it’s two sentences a day or a page a day. If you’re unsure where to take the story next, just keep writing. Stephen King famously said he knows "f-all what it’s gonna be about" but lets the story take him places. Lee Child works the same way.
