Goodreads asked Clemens Lode:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Clemens Lode Start small, but start with a complete project. Writing and marketing a whole book is totally different than writing a single article!

After you plan your project, divide it by four and try to finish it.

In any case, do one or two book projects to get accustomed to all the tools and learn the trade.

Also, work together with a second person who will review your ideas.

Don't start with your ideas---start with the reader and develop a story or a solution from there.
