Goodreads asked Kate O'Donnell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kate O'Donnell Don't give up and keep your day job for as long as you need it. Some very few writers get very right off the get-go, but it's a long, hard slog for the majority of us. Remember, Steven King's Carrie was rejected twenty times, so you also have to hang in there.
