Goodreads asked David Wittlinger:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Wittlinger Just write. It will probably be crap at first, and you'll recognize it as such. Eventually you will write something that you absolutely love. It may be a sentence or a paragraph but you'll know it when you read it. From that, work toward bigger and better. Don't expect to write anything good your first time out. Writing is much like learning to play an instrument; only by practicing will you ever become proficient.
