Goodreads asked Marc Liebman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Marc Liebman Persistence pays. If you want to be a writer, you will find time to write. It does not matter whether it is a proposal, book review, novel, magazine article, write and then write some more. Write and develop a style that is yours, not an imitation of someone else's.

You need persistence to finish a project, you need it to try to sell it and you need it to market the book once it is published. Everyone needs an editor so set your ego aside when it is critiqued. Use it to get better.
