Goodreads asked Alon Shalev:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alon Shalev Read everything in your genre and most of everything not in it. Read it to learn the craft of these authors.

Write with wild abandonment. Break all the rules, and pour scorn on squiggly red and green lines. There is plenty of time to edit later.

Write every day - on the good ones and the hard ones.
