What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jake Elliot I'll share what Larry McMurtry told me one night as we enjoyed drinks, (true story,)
"For most people, life is a river, people get in the boat and the river takes them to their destination. But writers are dropped in the middle of the ocean and must swim to shore."
---Larry McMurtry
