Goodreads asked Colin Adams:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colin Adams Besides the standard read a lot and write a lot, I'd suggest not to get bogged down with rules (e.g. don't use adverbs, etc.) as the number one thing you're probably struggling with is actually writing consistently. A lot of the "rules" are not consistently followed even by the people who came up with them.
