Goodreads asked R.J. Amos:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R.J. Amos The first thing is to do it. Put aside 15 minutes a day and write. Even 15 minutes is enough to start getting words on the page.
I would also encourage indie-publishing but (and this is a big but) make sure your work is quality. Get an editor. Pay for cover design. Make it the best it can be before you put it out there.
There are such great podcasts to listen to. My favourites are the everyday novelist, the creative Penn, and how do you write?
