Goodreads asked Craig Lancaster:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Craig Lancaster If there's a chance you want anything else for your life, you should probably grab it and continue on happily. If you can't imagine doing anything else, then you have no choice and should embrace this wholeheartedly. Beyond that, here are a few things that help tremendously:

1. Be good at it.
2. Write what's in your heart and trust that simpatico readers will find it.
3. Have the maturity to accept the criticism that will make you better and the fortitude to not accept anybody else's definition of success.
