What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J. Guenther Join a lot of big organizations, make a methodical effort to know everybody. Build your platform via face-to-face contact with people. Start a blog or join a coop blog and maintain it with weekly content. Join a writer's workshop and read a short work there every week. Read current fiction or non-fiction, whichever you're most interested in. Read books on writing. Take some courses at community colleges or adult ed. Write every day. Learn all about logical fallacies. When you've done all these things, write a great novel and self-publish it.
