Goodreads asked Larry Jones:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Larry Jones 1. Come up with a solid idea, preferably a topic that the majority of people are interested in such as money, relationships, etc.
2. Mindmap your idea (see Pat Flynn's excellent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWoYH...)
3. Have a great writing tool to start "fleshing out" your mind map into an actual book format. I use Scrivener and love it!
4. Write something everyday, even if you only have 5-10 minutes.
5. Take baby steps and be persistent. It may take awhile, but eventually you will get the book written!
