Goodreads asked M.K. Theodoratus:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M.K. Theodoratus My advice is to learn your craft.

First you have to have interesting ideas. Then you have to know English [or whatever language's grammar] grammar. Then you have to learn the skills to put together a good story.

Than after getting you characters, plots, settings etc flowing ... You need a copy editor to clean up your manuscript. This is especially true when you're an indie writer, because you don't have a publishing house employee to do the copy edits for you.
