Goodreads asked Ed Halliday:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ed Halliday Just do it ! Don't procrastinate. If it's no good abandon it, but the more you try the easier and better the writing becomes. And get a good editor. Happy to pass on details of mine if needed, she'd great, experienced, and not expensive!
One more thing, don't show anyone your work until you are happy with it, nothing worse than a harsh comment to kill a work in progress.
