Goodreads asked E.A.A. Wilson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E.A.A. Wilson When people say "It's hard to make money from writing!" or "Publishing is an impossible industry to crack!" or "Book deals are few and far between!" - DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM! Nobody has ever trodden the path you're about to go down. Everyone's journey is different. You have no idea what opportunity is waiting for you - your only job is to keep your feet moving one in front of the other, keep your eyes on your goal, act when opportunities come along, and keep practicing your craft. If you want to be a writer, then you already are. Just get that book out of your imagination where it's doing no good at all!
