Goodreads asked Tommy Birk:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tommy Birk Find a good teacher. Work like hell. Understand that you don't write the book when you're writing the book. You write the book when you're doing something else and an idea pops from your subconscious and stares you in the face. I like to jog and I can't tell you how many ideas I get during a jog.
