Goodreads asked L.J. Kendall:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

L.J. Kendall Read, a lot. Write, and let other people review what you've written, and pay attention to what they say. They'll know if something isn't working, but don't rely on their advice when it comes to fixing it.

Pay attention to the words, and their flow, and the sentences, and their flow, and the paragraphs, and their flow, and the movements, and their flow. Understand that it takes time, and effort, and practice.

Read advice from writes whose work you admire. But find your own unique voice and style: learn how and when you can break the rules.
