The piece of advice I'd give newbies? Brush up on your grammar and spelling skills. Get a good style guide, such as "Chicago," and don't forget to use it! Don't assume that being "good in English in school" makes you a good writer. Take a writing course at a local college if you need to.
And never trust spell check, auto-correct, or auto-fill. Never. You still have to proofread the work of machines.
I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
