Goodreads asked Richard Dodd:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Richard Dodd Writing is difficult and lonely. Perseverance is the most important tool a writer can have. You must continue no matter what. Perseverance is more important than talent, spelling and even story ideas. Be prepared for people to be judgemental and even condescending but never give up.
