Goodreads asked Crystal Estell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Crystal Estell Don't give up-ever! The first draft is junk. The second draft is polished junk. By the fifteenth revision, you might catch glimpses of the masterpiece hidden beneath all those adverbs, crutch words, and plot holes. The point is, a fully develop story takes time and sacrifice to achieve. But when you do... it's an indescribable feeling.
