Goodreads asked David Niall Wilson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Niall Wilson Write. Write a lot. Don't spend much time creating a Facebook page or a Twitter account, don't let people tell you you have to go on blog tours and hand out bookmarks. Write, and then write some more. Write different things, and read. Don't just read popular things by independent authors, but established authors as well, and non-fiction. Don't be dragged into "being" a writer actively - let that part come naturally, as you actually create things that matter to you. If that is not the focus, you don't really want to be a writer - you just want to be able to say you are...
