Goodreads asked Paul Trembling:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Paul Trembling There's only one way to be a writer, and that's to write. It might seem like a simplistic answer, but it's really the only one, and I expect nearly every other writer will say the same.

You can go to workshops, but you need to write as well. You can take a course, but you need to write. You can submit things to magazines, put them on line, contact agents and publishers - but keep writing. Or don't do any of these things (at least not at first) but do write.
