Goodreads asked David Small:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Small Turn off your internal censor. Never worry about what other people might think. Remember, you never have to show what you write to anyone. I would also suggest that it's a good policy not to talk about your work to many of your friends. You will get, "Still writing?' thrown at you so often that it becomes a taunt. Better to avoid that and keep it to a trusted few.
