Goodreads asked Sean Demory:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sean Demory Edit more. Getting the idea on the page is great, but dedication to craft is even better. Paying attention to the actual craft of writing inspires us to try new things and to actually challenge ourselves. Focus on craft keeps art from being pure narcissism.

Don't despair if you can't write everything right away. The good ideas will come back if you don't get to them immediately, and tending every fancy that crosses your field of vision is like planting a garden and watering everything that comes up. Some weeds are flowers or herbs, but some are just weeds.
