Goodreads asked Terry Irving:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Terry Irving Write and then have someone yell at you for writing badly.

What? It worked for me.

It also helps to have a deadline. Say, a great paragraph in the next minute.

Yes, I wrote for television new for 25 years and often rewrote on the prompter as it was rolling to the anchor. It's a good teacher.
