Goodreads asked Matthew James Elliott:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Matthew James Elliott Don't forget why you became a writer, as I did? Whatever you do, hold onto it. Don't let failure, discouragement, or life get in the way of your pursuit. Seek a guiding hand or two along the way and believe in the gift you've been given. I lost site of that, and for years have felt like a big part of me was missing. I am so glad God has seen fit to help me find it again.
