Goodreads asked J.E. Erickson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J.E. Erickson Finish what you're working on and move on to the next thing. Writing -- any creative art, really -- is a perpetual work in progress. If you don't find what you consider your acceptable level of failure on your project (labor of love or otherwise) you can find yourself spinning your wheels on it forever.

Finish what you write. Write something else.
