Goodreads asked Ilene B. Benator:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ilene B. Benator Read. Write. Live. Experience.

Especially, keep writing. Also, get an editor to work with you. Your first effort might be crap, but you keep learning and improving. Your best book might be the third book, so don't stop at book one. Keep going.
