Goodreads asked Michael Golvach:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Michael Golvach Don't quit. Almost every rejection is great advice on how to not be rejected next time. Almost every negative review is also great advice on how to improve your writing. If people hate you, don't pay attention to them. Write for yourself and for the people who enjoy your writing. Focus on the positive. If you spend too much time dwelling on the negative, you're effectively digging yourself a ditch that just gets deeper.
