Goodreads asked R.R. Scott:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.R. Scott One hundred different writers could give you 100 different pieces of advice, all valid but not all necessarily applicable to you. Aside from the usual advice of always keep writing, don't let rejection get you down, etc, I think the best piece of advice applicable to anybody wanting to write is to read - a lot. Read the books you enjoy and are comfortable with but also step outside your boundaries, learn new things and see how other authors in various genres do it. It will all help you in informing your writing. Always read, always learn from what you read, and always ensure you continue to grow as a writer, even if you write for decades. Believe in yourself but never let yourself believe you're good enough to stop improving.
