My main advice I offer is the advice I frequently remind myself of: Don’t listen to very many people when it comes to how to make a writing career. There are a million ways to be a writer, not one way. So especially don’t listen to so-called “gatekeepers.” Rarely do they offer you anything useful, and they will only try to squash your enthusiasm.
The only way to become a writer is to write. Read a lot, and love what you read. If you don’t love what you read, find something you love to read. Then write something you’d love to read.
