Goodreads asked Mary Soderstrom:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mary Soderstrom Whenever a young person asks me for advice, I saw "hook up with a partner with a good day job." Writers who can live from their writing are few and far between. A partner who believes in you is a wonderful thing--and it helps when it's time to put food on the table or a roof over your head.
