Goodreads asked Kate Clifford Larson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kate Clifford Larson Believe in yourself and the stories you want to tell. Accept that it may be tough going, sometimes, but the joy and satisfaction from making that commitment to yourself is worth it. Try to accept criticism gracefully—it is so hard, I know—but be willing to take it in. It doesn't mean the criticism is accurate, but be willing to listen. Sometimes criticism is a gift, sometimes it isn't. Be kind to yourself! And write!
