Goodreads asked McKinley Aspen:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

McKinley Aspen Write Write Write. Even if you are writing technical documents, marketing reports, or creating nonprofit ads and event flyers, every little thing you do helps you hone your craft. And, don't let anyone tell you that you are doing it WRONG. There is no right or wrong when it comes to art - and writing is an art. You just have to believe in your story, your characters and your goal and continue to move forward. There will be people who don't like it - because art is highly subjective - but don't let that destroy you. My goal has always been IF ONE PERSON LIKES IT THEN IT IS SUCCESSFUL and so that, in itself, makes my spirit soar.
