Goodreads asked Al Rennie:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Al Rennie Write, read and write some more. Get as many experiences crammed into your life as possible. I have been a teacher, a politician, and a hockey coach, a father and a foster father. I have sat on numerous boards and committees. Always watch people for how they respond in situations ... be aware. You never know when you might use some part of your experience to create a character or develop a plot.
