Goodreads asked Chris Dee:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Chris Dee Read a lot. Good books, lots of them. "You are what you eat" applies to your imagination as much as your body, so watch what you put in there. A little junk food does no harm now and then, but you can't expect to be a professional athlete on a steady diet of chips and diet soda.

Care about your craft. Bypass the sites obsessing on 'tropes' and learn about real literary techniques, structure and pacing.

And live a lot. You don't have to climb a mountain in Tibet, you do have to be actively aware what's going on in your own life and in your own head. The difference between watching a movie and kinda/sorta following the show on television on the background.
