Goodreads asked Joy Nash:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Joy Nash Write. Read books on craft. Write. Take a writing course. Write. Join an author’s group. Write. Read books in the genre you want to write in. Write. Find critique partners. Write. Research. Write. In case you haven’t guessed yet, the main thing you have to do to be a writer is write. Try to write every day, even if you only last five minutes at it and you think what you wrote is awful. Like a lot of things in life, the more you do it, the better you get at it.
