Goodreads asked Brian Kindall:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Brian Kindall Listen to yourself first. It's okay to like other writers, and even to imitate them to some extent. You can learn a lot that way. It's okay to listen to advice from all your critics. But when you sit down to write, speak from those deepest parts of yourself. No one but you can write from your point of view. Sharpen that point of view. That's what you have to offer to the world that's of the most value. Be honest and sincere with who you are. Be fearless and compassionate.
