The best advice I can give to aspiring writers is to write. Whatever ideas you have in your head, sit down, grab a pen, pencil, or electronic device and write. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from telling your story the way you want to tell the story. And don't buy into all the online narratives about how to tell your story. Only you know how to tell your story. Your voice and your ideas make you unique.
