Goodreads asked Erika Brickley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Erika Brickley Be kind to yourself. The pessimist in you will say it's pretty much impossible. The realist in you will admit it's a bit unlikely. But the optimist in you will never lose hope. Don't let the pessimist rule your brain and make you feel worthless. Always try to be a realist with a strong optimist streak.
