Goodreads asked B.J. Hyman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

B.J. Hyman Take all those little ideas and put them in a box. Every once and a while, go through the box and see what gets the wheels turning. Take that idea (or group of ideas) and begin writing something. It may be your next big project or just a small poem, but you'll have delved into that wonderful practice of writing. It takes day after day of that same kind of practice to ever accomplish a full novel.
