I've written two whole books. I still am an "aspiring writer."
But I would say "edit." Edit like you hate the damn thing. Buy editing software. Rewrite every chapter twice. Give copies to people who hate you.
The worst thing you can hear at this stage in the game is "Good job."
Because it wasn't a good job. It's only ever adequate.
If I ever get the point where I don't feel like a bit of a hack, I think my writing will suffer.
