Goodreads asked Mark Butler:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mark Butler Set a small word-count goal each day. I started at 300 words per day for about four months, and I gradually built up to 2000 words a day. Consistency is the key. Writing is a marathon, not a sprint. Also, you have to read a lot, particularly best-sellers, to understand what good writing truly is. Lastly, write the kind of books that YOU want to read.
