Goodreads asked J.C. Seal:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

J.C. Seal Oh, you mean, like the blind leading the blind, since I’m a beginner myself.

I guess the most important thing is, stay true to yourself. Don’t give up, don’t despair. Don’t let anyone tell you to stop writing. Believe in yourself, in your vision. Don’t stop writing because others tell you it’s not worth it. Don’t despair when you are smiled upon, when your “antics are tolerated”.

Find a community of like minds. Indie writers are special, they help each other. Don’t be afraid to reach out to one of us.
