Goodreads asked D.B. Patterson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.B. Patterson Creativity, Confidence, and Courage. Being creative long enough will likely lead you to a kind of confidence if you persist in one-upping yourself. That may or may not help you find your courage, which is the hardest of the three to achieve. Courage to be confident in creativity means being utterly, fearlessly honest as you express your particular vision of the world and all the pieces that make it.
