Goodreads asked David C. Russell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David C. Russell Do a lot of reading in the areas that you want to write in. Note how authors start their articles or books. Take some online learning courses where you will be instructed what to write and given a time frame to submit that writing. You need to give and receive feedback from the start. Read a respectable periodical such as "Writer's Digest" to get a feel for the craft. Learn and then learn some more. Then start writing.
