Goodreads asked Debbie A. McClure:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Debbie A. McClure Don't worry about trying to learn everything all at once. There's plenty of time to learn as you go. The learning curve of writing and publishing is the size of a tsunami, but just relax and breathe through it.

One of the most important things for new writers to remember is that there really is only one way to write a story - plant butt in chair and WRITE! There are no short-cuts to that one. All the excuses for why you're not writing won't get the job done. Even a few minutes a day is better than day after day, week after week, year after year, of writing nothing.
