Goodreads asked Cleon Carnegie:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cleon Carnegie Seek the path that soothes you, that path that brings you peace. Listen to those hungry mosquitoes of thoughts that seek to torment you. Catch a few, all if you can. Suck them in the form of writing.
You have something to say, and the world wants to hear it. Someone is waiting for your story, it's the only one that can save him/her. Get on with it through thick and thin.
