Goodreads asked Nelson Cover:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nelson Cover Keep writing. Keep your own counsel as a first priority, but learn from your mistakes and bad tendencies. Share your material with close confidents and friends, occasional outsiders. Know their interests and biases and how those affect their judgment. (I know for certain my British friends will help with correct grammar and usage but will put off by any character with an accent.)
