What advice would you give to less successful, or unpublished writers?

Brandon Sanderson

Write. I wrote thirteen books before I sold one. I’ll bet you can do better than that. Just keep at it. The only way to improve is to practice. Treat your early writing like a pianist, learning to play scales. Don’t think of it as work you have to sell, think of it as your practice jam sessions where you get your feet underneath you. Don’t stress too much if it doesn’t go as you want. You’ll learn.
