Goodreads asked Eric J. Gates:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Eric J. Gates Well... you could buy my Aspiring Writer book... ; - ) Seriously: there are a huge number of people out there who have been through all the hard times that the process has to offer and who have triumphed and realised their dream. Many are willing to share their experiences, so it's just a matter of asking.

In my specific case, just send me your questions; I'll be as helpful as I can.

And... there's always my book ; - ) at the very least, it will give you a laugh or three.
