Goodreads asked Rachel Urquhart:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Rachel Urquhart Don't let yourself be told that there is only one way to write. Set your own rules, then stick by them. Keep coming back to the table, even when you hate every word you eek out and it seems as though nothing will ever work. Don't compare yourself to anyone. You are as singular as a snowflake and your story is yours alone. The time it takes you to write it is equally unique, and it is what it is. Surprise yourself by NOT giving up.
