For starters, don't use "aspiring". If you are writing, you're a writer. Own it!
Next, understand being an author means wearing many hats - you are a writer, first and foremost, but it's also a business so you have to be ready to be a Marketer, a Brand coordinator, an Editor, a Project manager, Web Designer etc. Learn all you can about these aspects to give yourself the best footing.
Finally, other writers are NOT your competition, they are your community, connect with them, support them, ask for help, offer help. We grow stronger, together.

Mostly I am always inspired to write. I have a plethora of story ideas all chunnering for attention.
I spend most of my time trying to stay focused on just one or two and not get side-tracked by the rest of them.
