Goodreads asked David Castleton:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Castleton First of all, just write. Just sit down and let it all come out of you and see what you have. What you come up with might really surprise you. Having said that, it's important you learn your craft - how to plot, write good sentences, create good characters, all that stuff - and I have a lot of advice about the craft of writing for free on my website. But I think what's really important is your individual voice. Be true to it. No one else will ever be able to write like you.
