Goodreads asked Paul Watson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Paul Watson Read and read a lot. Write and write a lot. Criticize and perfect your work. Be open to the suggestions of others whether spoken or written. That said, we can not believe everything we are told. So it becomes a personal matter of what to "take on board" and what to "leave behind". But in the end, our writing should please others, so it is necessary that we genuinely listen to their thoughts and reactions concerning our works.
