Goodreads asked Margaret Robinson Rutherford:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Margaret Robinson Rutherford I had a writer as a patient at the time of my writing this book. She'd ask me from time to time how things were going and I'd give a short answer, thanking her for her interest. One day however, I told her that I was struggling because there was so much advice out there -- so many ideas that had already been offered -- what fresh could I have to say? Her answer was simple. "But no one has heard you say it. No one has read your words. And you'll never know just who you can reach." So... that's the advice I'll repeat. It was wonderful advice.
