Goodreads asked David Teachout:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Teachout Write about what makes you get up in the morning. The inspiration you have in your own life will resonate with others, simply by existing in this shared existence called humanity. Further, if you're writing isn't an expression of your joy in life then readers will pick up on it and move on. I'm not saying this is a foolproof way of making your millions, but I'm a strong believer in doing what you love and only then finding out how to make a living at it.
