Goodreads asked E.P. Clark:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E.P. Clark Do lots of writing! And reading. We don't tend to think of writing as being the same as something like music or dance, where you have to practice and practice and practice, but I think that regular practice is the only thing that will really make you a writer. Also, search for something that really matters to you and that also resonates with other people. Try to make the specifics of whatever you're writing about meaningful to readers who may never have experienced that specific situation, but have probably experienced the emotions it engendered--e.g., being ignored, being oppressed or controlled, being in love, etc. etc.
