Goodreads asked Doug Engstrom:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Doug Engstrom The best writing advice I've ever gotten is, "Figure out what helps you put more good words on the page, then do more of that."

By all means, try what works for other people, use the so-called writing "rules," but ultimately, measure the effectiveness of any practice by whether it improves your work, or not.
