Goodreads asked Emma Zeth:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Emma Zeth Ignore all the people who say, 'wow I can't believe you've written a book,' and listen to the people who have actual, helpful feedback, e.g. 'the chapters are really long, i found it hard to get through them.'

The first just feeds the ego, the second hurts for a second or two, but is much more useful. (someone actually said that about chapter 1 and 2 so I split them, and it works much better.)
