Goodreads asked Colin Parton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colin Parton I started this because I enjoyed the work - so it didn't feel like work. I think that is still the case. Any job that you do that doesn't feel like work is probably along the lines of what you should be doing with your life.

If that thing happens to be writing - well write write write. Then write some more. Try lots and lots of different subjects and styles. Another thing that will really help you discovering what you enjoy writing about and how you enjoy writing about it is reading. So in between writing you need to read. Read widely as well.
