Goodreads asked Evan L. Grove:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Evan L. Grove Just write your book, get it done. Finishing is the hardest part.

That said, its likely your first, second, or maybe even your third attempt will be rubbish. That doesn't mean you're a bad writer, in fact it likely means you're on the road toward being a far better one.

So just keep doing it until you've crafted something you can really be proud of. The most important part is following through and reaching that finish line. Only then will you have the clarity to know if its worth sending to an editor or not.
