Ask yourself, why are you aspiring to be a writer. If it's because you love to write, learn your craft and keep working at it. Don't give up. Learn from your critics, but don't be driven by them.

I can tell you what the best thing is about being a published author: you get paid for doing something you've been doing for years previously without pay. I started writing stories when I was twelve. I would still be writing now, even if I wasn't selling my work. But I am. And people like it.
That's the best thing: when you write something and your reader gets it.

Sorry. It's been a crazy 6 months. And I've had writers block for half of it. In part I've been too busy with other work. To deal with writers block, I have to physically and mentally clear my desk.

My most recent book, MEN IN UNIFORM, is at the galley stage. You'll have to stay tuned for the release date.
A few years ago I was longing for hardwood flooring to replace our horrible poop brown carpet. The co-op was upgrading the flooring, but I was low on the list. I thought about ways to get myself bumped up. It came to me, dead body in the living room. I'd come home to discover it and get a living room makeover when the case was solved. That lead to the opening scene of MEN IN UNIFORM.
You'll be relieved to know that I did get my new flooring and no one had to die.
