Goodreads asked Jeff Finley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jeff Finley The world needs your unique voice and you don't need to be a good writer. Just be authentic and honest and write from your heart. If you're afraid to write a book, look at this: You already write emails, blogs, and forum threads and they are compelling because it's personal and real. But when you think of writing a book, you think it needs to be "good" - get over that fear. Books are convenient ways to spread ideas and stories. And my favorite stories are the ones most closest to real life. Our true selves. So be true to yourself in the best way you can. It's more inspiring to show how you overcame your challenges than to tell other people how to do it.
