Goodreads asked Byron Tully:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Byron Tully Be honest with yourself: is this really your passion? or just a hobby? If it's your passion, you must realize that your family may not approve because it will probably become your vocation, whether it pays well or not. Your duty is to do your best, ignore rejection or use it as fuel, and let the financial chips fall where they may. If it's just a hobby, enjoy.
