Goodreads asked R.K. Livingston:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.K. Livingston 1. Connect with other writers for mutual encouragement and advice.
2. Never apologize for the time you spend reading. It's all research when you boil it down.
3. Just begin. Don't worry about whether your first efforts are good or not. Polishing can come later.
