Goodreads asked David Bennett Laing:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

David Bennett Laing Don't even think of writing with commercial intent! There's far too much of that stuff already around. Write what's in you. That's the only thing that's real, along with people's reactions to what you write, which you should take seriously.
