Goodreads asked Roberto Lovato:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Roberto Lovato Be committed, committed to an issue you obsess about. The bigger the project the bigger the commitment. Commitment organizes your subconscious like nothing else. I just look at my friends who had kids in their teens and early twenties, how having a kid re-organized their lives along the axis created by that commitment. Commitment helps you hold your ground when the ground is shaking or when the bullets of fate whizz past you. Commitment makes obvious those moments when our dreams materialize outside of ourselves, preparing us for whatever opportunities luck or providence put in our path.
