Goodreads asked R. Munro:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

R. Munro Tell your story. Forget the naysayers, ignore the bullies and denigrators, overlook the critics. Persevere. Don't let anyone get in your way of telling the stories you need to tell. The oldest surviving artefacts in the world are stories. Stories are what make humans special. Treat your story as your own child - care for it, nurture it, help it grow to blossom and reach its full potential. When an agent or publisher rejects your submission, rest assured your story is not the problem - they're just not the right agent or publisher for you. Keep going. Forever strive, and when your story is released to the world, keep writing. Storytellers are the lifeblood of humanity. You are a storyteller. You are special. You will always be special.
