Goodreads asked Wanda Kay Knight:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Wanda Kay Knight In order to finish a book, you have to spend amazing amounts of time writing, maintaining self-discipline, and believing in your project; but all the while, you do not know if all those hours and all that self-discipline is going to end with someone else picking up your work and enjoying it. I suppose I think it is essential to find a reason to keep writing and loving the work in spite of the doubt that creeps in and/or in spite of the fact that there are not guarantees of commercial reward. Find a reason to make the time worth it even if financial rewards are not guaranteed. Find a reason, a purpose, a motivation that makes the time, dedication, and energy powerful enough to keep you writing until you are finished.
