Goodreads asked Brent Hayward:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Brent Hayward Write regularly, whether you feel like it or not. Sometimes the words that cause the most grief and struggle are the best. Don't be afraid of revising or deleting. Don't follow trends or chase markets. Prepare for criticism and when it comes don't take it personally. Be humble. And, above all, read everything that comes your way.
