Avik Davar
I've been through a lot of pain to find out what I really seek through writing.
My advice to aspiring writers is to question themselves why they want to write. If the answers (like mine at first) are: money, fame, respect, then all but one in a million are in for some serious pain and depression. I've moved on since then, and I really seek to immerse myself into the experience and come up with something that I'd like to be proud to identify with, whether it's on a list or not. Yes, write only to excel at your work, to push into new realms.
