Goodreads asked D.E. Osborne:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.E. Osborne First write. Second write some more. Third Finish what you work on. And forth remember you aren't Moses or Mohammed and the words you scribbled down aren't from God's mouth to your ear. Everything is subject to rewrite. Fix it, cut it, shape it, polish it until it sings, and then get someone who knows what they're doing to tear it apart.

Then start over again until its as good as you can make it.
