Goodreads asked Scott Macmann:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Scott Macmann Ignore the voices (especially in your own head) that say you aren't good enough or you have nothing of value to say about anything. You may not be good enough. You may in fact have nothing of value to say, but do we really know whether that is true or not? Time will tell. Think of the writers who were ignored or ridiculed, but then were reconsidered. So just write. Don't worry about that other stuff. Most of the world wants to tear people down. So ignore that. Write so that the inner voice can be heard.
