Goodreads asked D.P. Bowkett:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.P. Bowkett Never give up. If you have an idea then create it. Remember first and foremost you are your first audience. If you don’t like it change it, remove it or replace it. Only once you love reading your story ask others to read it.

But when you do remember even though Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and other books are loved by billions, there are also billions who hate them. You need at least 5-6 beta readers to know if it’s generally liked.
