Goodreads asked Dylan S. Hearn:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Dylan S. Hearn First live a life. It's hard to write if you haven't experienced anything.
Second, write every day, whether you feel like it or not.
Third, don't do it for the money. There is money to be made but only if you are in it for the long haul. Write because you love to write.
Fourth, there is no right way to right. Do it your way.
Fifth, only take advice from people who aren't afraid to tell you the truth, even if it is something you don't want to hear.
Sixth, choose a more successful author to get your advice from.
