Goodreads asked Jay Gilbertson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jay Gilbertson READ! Read the old stuff, read the latest stuff. Don't follow trends. Don't do it. Be original and write your brains out. Read some writing books, but not too many. Go to some workshops, but not too many.

OH, and READ!!!!!!!!
