Goodreads asked F. Allen Farnham:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

F. Allen Farnham Don't set any expectations of what your work will become or how it will perform publicly. Love it for what it is, give it all the attention it deserves (not necessarily all it demands), and nurture it until you're certain it's what you want it to be.
As long as you're happy with it, that's what matters. If it turns into a hit, well, that's all gravy.
