Goodreads asked R.E. Bryant:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.E. Bryant Take your time, perfect your craft, and when you first think that you have finished and you are ready to go to print, realize you are only 10% done. Be critical of your work, but listen to the advice of others who have come before you. You are not going to break new ground by going it alone. Get people to read your book and get feedback to make it better before you go to print. Be prepared to fail, but don't let failure stop you. Use it as a tool to drive and motivate you. Most important, as with all things in life...keep your head up, your hopes high, and expectations higher. If you want to win big...think big. :)
