Goodreads asked William Kely McClung:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

William Kely McClung Tell the story. Don't get caught up in machinations of writing so much they hinder or block you. Tell the story. Don't try to form and shape your words into a mold you've been told to fill. Tell the story. If in doubt over word counts or character arcs or pacing or genre bending, stop, take a breath, then tell the story.
