Goodreads asked David Nickle:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Nickle Read voraciously - both in the genre/subject matter that you want to work in, and crucially, outside those boundaries. And don't forget to make your way in the world. Good stories seldom come from the echo-chamber of a closed and incurious mind.

And obviously - write. Good stories don't come at all if not written down.
