Goodreads asked Vicki L. Weavil:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Vicki L. Weavil Read a lot. Read all types of books. The best way to learn to write (in my opinion) is to read, and consider why you like or don't like certain books. Consider what works for you and what does not and apply that to your own writing.
Also -- write the stories you MUST tell. Don't feel you have to follow trends, or that your unique idea has no market. Write from your heart, THEN use your head to learn to edit, revise, query, market, etc.
