Goodreads asked Orysia Dawydiak:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Orysia Dawydiak Read whatever interests you, but read as much as you can, every day if possible. And write every day, just a few sentences, stray thoughts, anything at all. For many writers it is important to create a routine, set aside time on a schedule that works for you. If you know someone else who wants to write, set up a check in with each other, perhaps one day a week, where you report on your writing progress for that week. It can be helpful to be 'accountable' to someone else besides yourself, and if you are both writers, so much the better!
