Goodreads asked C. Courtney Joyner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

C. Courtney Joyner I've read so many answers to this questions, and the answer from other, great writers, who're friends, and the titans always seems to be the same, and I agree: read. Read alot. When I've done panels on screenwriting, one of the things I always say to writers trying their first horror scripts is to get to know all types of movies - you can't have a steady diet of just one genre. You have to look beyond your own interests, and passions, I think. And that's so much more true for fiction. So I'll tag along in the footsteps of the greats, and re-give their advice: read, read, read.
