Goodreads asked Loraine Despres:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Loraine Despres You read about the successes. But it's hard to make a living as a writer and getting harder. Ask yourself: are you really willing to spend hour after hour sitting inside behind a computer writing, rewriting and polishing your sentences, while you communicate with your imaginary friends? If not, take a walk in the park, play basketball, go swimming and don't feel guilty, but enjoy the precious days of your life.
