Goodreads asked Bill Gourgey:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bill Gourgey Use all of your spare time to write BEFORE you leave your day job and try to get that manuscript published. Nowadays with so many social media and reading-writing communities, it’s a lot easier to find venues where readers will take your works out for a spin. Take advantage of them. But don’t give up the day job unless you’re absolutely committed or already have a bestseller in hand. It’s hard work getting “found” by readers and publishing industry professionals alike.
