Phillip T. Stephens
Learn the formula of the genre you want to write. But read everything—great writers as well as history and science and politics and poetry. Educate yourself.
Be aware that the chances of making a real living at writing are slim, so make sure you love it first. I've been writing for forty years because I love it. I'm only trying to sell now to create a college fund for my granddaughters.
