Goodreads asked Marc Smith:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Marc Smith Write. It doesn't have to be any good at first and it need not be for publication. I write fiction for myself because I love to immerse myself in imagined worlds. It also doesn't matter if you think you're too young or too old because writing is first and foremost about passion. Send pieces to agents and publishers - this is where I went wrong, I assumed that what I was writing was no good and that people would just laugh at me. I didn't take enough risks.
