Goodreads asked M. Sean Coleman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M. Sean Coleman Read everything you can in your genre. And write every day. This is key. Even if it's only a paragraph. Writing is a muscle, and it needs to be used and honed. Take criticism calmly and sensibly. Even if you think a reader's comments are unfair, they will probably not be the only one to feel that way about your story, so step back and listen to what they're saying and see how you can use it to make your story better.
