Goodreads asked J.V. Hilliard:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J.V. Hilliard First, don't be discouraged by the editing process. It's a good thing for you and allows you too see errors or in some cases opportunities to make your story better. Have it beta-read by thoughtful readers, accept the advice of your editors and in the end, do what you think is right for your story. But constructive criticism is necessary so don't be shy about it.

Secondly, find time to write every day. Even if it is notes or organizing your thoughts. Just DO SOMETHING and then writing will become muscle memory and habitual.
