Never stop.
Never stop writing. Never stop querying. Never stop trying. There will always be someone, somewhere, that won't like what you've written, that feel you should approach your story a different way, that characters should act one way and not the other. Disappointment and discouragement are all part of the package of being a writer. The ones who succeed learn what they can from each experience, apply what's helpful, and move forward. Be open to critique and criticism--EVERY writer has room to improve, even the biggest bestsellers. It could take years, but the ones who succeed are the ones who never stop pushing for their dreams.
