Goodreads asked Julia Glass:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Julia Glass Read a lot and read widely. Stay curious. Eavesdrop compulsively. Write about what you WANT to know. Persevere. Be skeptical about any "rules" you read telling you what you "must" do to be a serious writer (but, if you like, try them out).

Most important, know how to spend significant time in no one's company but your own (turn off and unplug EVERYTHING). Sadly, not many people know how to do that these days.
