Goodreads asked Lance Rubin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lance Rubin Get in the habit of writing even when you're not feeling inspired. And as much as is possible, operate as if you’re already published. By this I mean: refer to yourself as a writer, think of yourself as a writer, and carve out as disciplined a schedule as you can, as if writing is your job. You don’t need to wait for permission from publishing houses to do this; you can do it right now. And you should. If you don’t take yourself seriously, then the universe won’t be able to either.
