Goodreads asked Mike Duke:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mike Duke Write when you can, as much as you can. Learn more. Read or listen to books on story creation, structure, etc and character development and arcs, inner and outer conflicts and much more. Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey and Michael Hauge's Writing Screenplays That Sell (much of which is just as helpful for regular fiction writers) are two I believe have been of great help to me as well as their seminar, available on audible titled The Heroes 2 Journeys.
