Goodreads asked Tariq Saleim:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tariq Saleim 1. Write, review, edit
2. Do not worry about critics
3. Do not give up after one book. Keep at it. The more you write, the higher the probability of success.

Tariq, Have you ever worried that your work isn't "literary" or "smart" enough? and/or "Marketable" or "accessible" enough? Are these necessary concerns? Or do you find them stifling? When concepts like these start closing in, do you work around or through them?
