Goodreads asked Melissa L. Cook:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Melissa L. Cook Write every day. Celebrate accomplishments. Understand that not everything you write will be exceptional, and allow yourself to let some pieces go. If you want to have a career in writing, understand the timeline for publishing a great book. Everything takes time, and editors need time. Ten months passed between completing "The Call of the Last Frontier" and its release. The process is a long-distance race that requires pacing. That's why you need to celebrate the small successes along the way.
