Goodreads asked S. Marriott Cook:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

S. Marriott Cook I would say "Listen to your voice," but also ask a few people you can trust to give you honest and the most important thing knowledgeable opinion, for feed back.
If you cannot use honest well meant critique, then you don't want to write for the public. You will be a better writer if you can take suggestions. You don't have to change it to what they are saying, but you need to be willing to change some things.
