Goodreads asked Ralph Cissne:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ralph Cissne Live with compassion. Study history. Notice even the most mundane details. Love deeply, begin with your self. Practice forgiveness. Enjoy friends with diverse opinions. Be aware and acknowledge the moment your characters start speaking through you, when writing becomes less work and more ecstatic inspiration. Find cause for celebration.
