Goodreads asked Faith A. Colburn:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Faith A. Colburn 1. Sit down and get started. 2. Read, read read--other writers of the same kind of thing you want to write, advice from successful authors, books on writing, even your guilty pleasure kind of reading. There's almost always something to be learned--even if it's how NOT to do something. 3. Find a group, other writers who can help you get over the rough spots, teach you a thing or two, give you advice, hold your hand and remember you do all of those things for the other members of your group.4. Don't give up.
