Goodreads asked S.L. Dearing:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

S.L. Dearing Keep at it and don't be afraid of editors and critiques (which is not criticism). Also, develop a thick skin. There are people out there that will criticize you for no reason other than they choose to, and you can't please everyone, nor should you try. Listen to the words of Pelonius - To thine own self be true - as long as you do that, you'll be fine.
