Goodreads asked Alan Lampe:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alan Lampe Keep writing. Set aside the same time each week for writing. Don't let your friends, family, or job interfere with this time. Focus on writing for this time. Then, expand the time, whether by a few hours, or adding an additional day. This will create a writing habit. Continue to build this writing habit until you have reached your dreams.

Research everything. I'd rather have one person leave a commit saying, "He did his research and it is accurate," then a thousand people saying "You don't know what your talking about, whiskey doesn't do that." If there is any doubt, research and find the correct answer.
