Goodreads asked John L. Monk:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

John L. Monk Get in the habit of finishing what you start, even if it isn't good. You learn a lot that way. Also: reading books about writing, grammar, etc., doesn't mean you're not being true to your art. A good book to look at: "It was the best of sentences, it was the worst of sentences," by June Cassagrande
