Goodreads asked G. Donald Cribbs:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

G. Donald Cribbs There are a ton of resources out there for those who want to find and use them. An important first step is to find your own motivation and go after it. You aren't going to write a novel by asking authors how to write. Writing is a personal experience and unique for each person, even if some aspects are universal. Go figure it out for yourself. If you need help getting started, my favorite author support sites (http://www.writershelpingwriters.net and http://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthor...) are two great places to start.
