Advice for aspiring writers: Reach beyond yourself. Learn about other things so that when and if you do write about yourself, you are also writing about the world.
Write, write, and rewrite like hell. And persist. My father taught me two wonderful things, how to look and how to persist. And read. I read shelves of memoirs and I read shelves of art history books, essays, fiction, plays for structure.
And surround yourself with people who believe in your ambitions. Few of us do this alone. We need people who believe in us.
