Goodreads asked Philip Padgett:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Philip Padgett You mean besides the shiny side of the carbon paper faces away from you? Fix on the topic about which you are passionate. Writing runs on a long, sometimes frustrating path. Your passion can sustain you. Seek and listen to advice, but don't let the "it's too hard for you" gremlins take over your decisions - especially that gremlin inside your head.
