Goodreads asked Josh Ritter:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Josh Ritter Get comfortable with yourself. That doesn’t mean give yourself slack or be too hard on yourself, it just means be comfortable with the fact that no matter how hard you try to be somebody else, your writing will always reflect your deepest self in some regard. It may be the part that annoys you the most, but it’s usually the most genuinely you part of your writing. So get comfortable with it, because you’re stuck with you.
