Goodreads asked Barry Finlay:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Barry Finlay Keep writing! There are highs and lows with anything, but I think sometimes they are magnified in the arts. For example, a positive review will come along that encourages you to write but it may be followed by a negative one. It's human nature to focus on the bad ones. Remember to write for yourself first and as I said, keep writing.
