Best-selling author Mary Higgins Clark gives great advice in under 2 minutes to aspiring writers. What is her advice? Write what you like and what you know. This way, your own interests, readings, and knowledge will have already prepared you for the genre you are writing in, if it is one that you truly enjoy. Her advice to look at your bookshelf and see what it is you yourself like is one of the best pieces of advice I have heard so far when it comes to wanting to write. I think my love of reading and particular genres does give me an edge when it comes to writing in those genres, so I am definitely going to take her advice and write something I myself would pick up from the shelf.
