Goodreads asked Leslie Spitz-Edson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Leslie Spitz-Edson That's easy: write. If you were an aspiring basketball player, you'd play basketball, right?
Another thing that comes to mind is something I actually stole from someone and I can't even remember who it was! But it is this: don't be afraid to be curious. If there's a subject that interests you - no matter how trivial or unworthy prevailing opinion makes it out to be - look into it. Deeply. Chances are there's a lot more to it than meets the eye, and let that be your inspiration.
