Goodreads asked Chris Roland:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Chris Roland Write! And, decide from the very beginning what kind of writer you want to be. Having been a business owner all my life with loads of soul-crushing responsibilities, as I begin this new phase of my life as an author (I've been a writer for many years), I decided I wanted control of my personal and professional life, and I didn't want a lot of responsibility that would take away from my creative enjoyment, passion, and free time. I have set my new path up to support this, rejecting anything that infringes upon this. For aspiring writers, it's important to know exactly what you want to achieve, then set that in motion and live it in the moment.
