Goodreads asked Janet Pocorobba:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Janet Pocorobba Persist. Writing is a LOT of work. Ridiculous amounts of work. Of course, you're not thinking about that when you're in the middle of a piece. But don't start placing logical values on it, ie: that it "should" add up to something by now, and so on. Writing--all art--is not rational. That's the best part about it. It's away from that part of the world. It's about imagination, the subconscious, faith, and it's really rewarding and fun.
