Goodreads asked Robert Wilson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Robert Wilson Being a writer is not about being inspired. Not all the time. You will get inspiration, the flash, but then it's all about the hard work of getting it down right. My best advice to aspiring writers is to make a commitment to the desk. Say to yourself that come what may you are going to sit there for a minimum of four hours a day….come hangover or broken arm as Raymond Chandler would have it. Because that is the only way you are going to get the work done. The writer who only writes when they're truly inspired is the writer who never writes.
