Goodreads asked Darren T. Patrick:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Darren T. Patrick I think the best advice I could give would be to approach the "business" of writing/publishing with the longer term in mind. It isn't a race and (I think I speak for most of us writers out there) it most definitely isn't a get rich quick thing. It's about the passion... about wanting to tell the story you were meant to tell. In my mind, if a new author sticks to writing what s/he loves, not necessarily what s/he thinks is "going to sell", they will set themselves up for a very rewarding journey.
