Goodreads asked D.B. Corey:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.B. Corey There’s an old saying: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That is especially true with writing. New writers take rejection of their work hard. It’s personal for them. That attitude will kill a dream faster than the cyanide I used to kill victims in my first novel. Toughen your skin. LEARN from failure. It is a better teacher than success.
OH! And don't let internet-trolls dissuade you, like the two women from Boca Raton who both joined GR in September just to give my work a 2-star rating. Seems they don't agree with my politics, so they decided to punish me. So much for Freedom of Speech in Boca Raton. Petty, to say the least.
