Goodreads asked Laurel McHargue:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Laurel McHargue The more you write, the more you write! As soon as you have an idea, about anything, capture it somehow, in a notebook...computer...recorder. You never know what will blossom from a random seed!

Expect rejection from agents. Lots of rejection. But keep writing what you're passionate about.
