Goodreads asked Haystack:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Haystack My advice for aspiring writers is to write everyday. Just write. But you have to do it everyday. Write about anything. Write any story that comes to your mind, no matter how silly it might seem. Odds are, someone will like it. And that's another thing. If someone doesn't like one of your stories, it doesn't matter. It won't make a bit of difference, because for every one person you find that doesn't like any one of your stories, you'll find about ten who will.
