My advice for aspiring writers is this:
1. Write every single day, even if it's just one paragraph.
2. Read, read, read! Read in your genre and out of it, read classics, just read!
3. Get involved in a writer's group.
4. Find someone to critique your work and don't get your feelings hurt.
5. When you think your story is finished, put it away for a little while, take a step back, then read it again with fresh eyes and start polishing.
