Goodreads asked Patrick C. Greene:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Patrick C. Greene Be resilient. Criticism, rejection and disappointment are ahead. Remember these and let them inform your work. Be picky about who is allowed to beta read or sample read your books. And never, ever base your self-perception on your success, critically or financially. No author escapes bad reviews.
