Goodreads asked D.L. Havlin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.L. Havlin DON"T RUSH THE PROCESS!! First, just don't sit down and hope something will happen. Find a topic, idea, or cause that you wish to champion ... one you can address with passion ... then WRITE! Remember the authoring process has just begun when you finish the first draft of your book. Wash, polish, wax then strip and begin again. When you think its perfect, repeat the process. The reason there is more manure in the literary pipeline than a Washington DC sewer is the failure to strive for quality.
