Goodreads asked Jason Howl:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jason Howl To give up. I have enough competition.
No, I wouldn't really say that. (Although I might think it. The field for writing is pretty crowded. Like if if every NFL team tried to play the same game at once. So, if you do want to give up, I won't put my hand lovingly on your shoulder and try to talk into staying. Currently, I'm pinned somewhere under Carlton Mellick III's sweaty shin-guards and I can't get my arms free to stop you anyway.)
No, what I'd really say Edit, Edit, Edit. And then leave the work alone for like a month. Then come back and edit some more.
And here is a really good tip. Use the read-back feature on Word, under the Review tab, to listen for errors that your eyes will miss.
Good luck.
You bastards.
(I didn't that last part, I only thought it.)
