Goodreads asked Peter Gray:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Peter Gray Stay true to yourself. Follow your heart. Write stories that are deeply meaningful to you. Use your own voice and do not feel the need to copy your favourite authors. When I first started out many years ago I was fixated on using fancy words and imitating other authors writing styles, but as time went by I was able to find my own voice. This comes with experience of course, as well as confidence. If you desire to write your own story and publish it, well, it is a beautiful dream that is truly achievable if you work hard enough for it.
