Goodreads asked C.A. Jamison:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

C.A. Jamison Get feedback and learn from other authors. If you don't like what you hear, never let it get you down, just keep moving forward until you've done the best writing possible for the story you have created.
I hired help, took classes on line, and learned from the local community college. But before I considered publishing, I entered a couple contest. Lots of good constructive criticism there.
