Goodreads asked Don Bendell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Don Bendell Grow yourself and ONLY write what you truly know about. For example, I physically ride my horse, when at all possible, over every inch of ground I write about in my westerns. NEVER give up and DO NOT try to please everybody. Take advice and input and analyze it. If it is useful, use it to make yourself grow. You MUST be a self-promoter to become successful. Learn how to market yourself and view yourself as a product.
