Goodreads asked Brian Raif:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Brian Raif Everyone is going to tell you this one and you’re going to roll your eyes every time you hear it: The best piece of advice I can give you is to write. Don’t talk or read about writing. If you spend a day without writing you have failed at being a writer that day. Any day you do write, YOU’VE SUCCEEDED! Now, as soon as you’re done rolling your eyes, ask yourself one question: Have you written anything today?
