Goodreads asked M.F. Moody:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M.F. Moody Don't compare yourself to other authors. Your writing journey is unique.
Also, make sure to find people who will not only give you good advice (even if it might seem harsh at times), but who will be honest with you, uplift you, and encourage you. Don't find a bunch of "yes men", find those who will be truthful.
