Goodreads asked Edward Farber:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Edward Farber If you're an aspiring writer, never be satisfied with your first draft of a story. Or the second. The first rush of words may not always be the best you can do. My advice would be to get that first "rush" down, put it away for a while, then come back to reread and, most importantly, rewrite.
