Goodreads asked Katharine Kerr:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Katharine Kerr Ray Bradbury said it best, "Read, read, read." I'd add that you should read all kinds of books, not just your favorite genre. Read literature, trash, journalism, history, lots of genre books -- everything.

And be one-pointed. If you want to be a writer, concentrate on wordcraft. Unless of course you want to do graphic novels, in which case, you'll need to combine the words with drawing. :-)
