Goodreads asked Thomas Lockhaven:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Thomas Lockhaven Find something that you are passionate about and write. Write EVERY day. Try to improve something about your writing every day. Go to a park, and people watch. Describe the person in detail. How do they walk? Do they have any quirky mannerisms? Are they left or right handed? Work on writing about being in the moment not just an observer. You can do this by working on your dialogue. Most people like to be a part of the scene or the action and not just a passive onlooker. My last bit of advice is to make sure that what you write is constantly moving the story forward. I hope this helps!
