Goodreads asked Lorrie Sprecher:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lorrie Sprecher My best advice is to be persistent. I think persistence, in a world that doesn't necessarily reward the arts, is just about the most important quality for a writer to have. The move from being an aspiring writer to being a writer comes with your persistence. You cannot control the state of publishing or other people's reading habits, but you can control your own commitment to your writing. A writer has to insist on writing no matter what external circumstances exist.
