Goodreads asked Steven Primrose-Smith:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Steven Primrose-Smith As soon as you have an idea - any idea at all - write it in a text file and save it somewhere meaningful on your computer. Go back to it later and develop it, adding more ideas as they come along. Forget about it for years and then, if it's a keeper, it will call you back. It might turn into a book. My George Pearly novel started off as an idea I'd had ten years earlier.
