Goodreads asked Suzanne M. Wolfe:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Suzanne M. Wolfe As the great John Gardner said: "Read, read, read. Write, write, write." Make a writing schedule--I get up at 6am every morning to write--and stick to it. Or, if you are not a morning person, write every day from 7pm to 11pm. This will obviously depend on your work/life schedule but at least a couple of hours writing time every day is the minimum. For many years, when I had small children and growing teens, I was only able to write at night. Now, I have switched to the mornings. Whatever works for you. Just keep at it. Oh, and one last thing: switch off all electronic devices--too tempting.
