Goodreads asked Jim Ody:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jim Ody The best advice that I can offer is to read as much as you can. Understand that genre that you write. Look at the market for this. From there write for yourself, the minute you try and write for others often the quality, and your enthusiasm will drop. Stay focused on what you are trying to achieve, and never be afraid to ask questions from other writers. I don't subscribe to the notion of being in competition with others, this is something that we can share, and evolve together.
