Goodreads asked Dean Koontz:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Dean Koontz You better love writing for the sake of writing, for the thrill of making a story work, for the pleasure of making the language sing. It’s a hard business, harder every year, and you might never find success, but if you get profound pleasure from the act of writing, you’re vaccinated against despair. And readers are more likely to respond to work written by someone who took pleasure in the craft and art of it.
