Goodreads asked Bridget Allison:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bridget Allison Dare yourself to write. Dare yourself to be rejected. In the old days I sent out a young adult novel to two publishing houses. I received a rejection from one which was boiler plate and another which was a rejection, but an encouraging one. Looking back, I realize I should have set a goal of not stopping until I had received 100 rejection letters. Instead I shredded the book and I regret it deeply.
