Goodreads asked A.M. Dorhauer:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

A.M. Dorhauer First, get rid of the notion that you're an "aspiring" writer. You're only an "aspiring writer" if you've never written anything outside of school or work. You already are a writer!

Next, don't assume that you always have to be writing in order to maintain your status. I can't remember what days I did or didn't write- all I know is that I finished, and that's what matters. Set schedules by all means- but don't put such high demands on yourself.
