Goodreads asked Bill Bodden:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bill Bodden It may sound flippant, but don't quit your day job - seriously. The publishing world is upside-down right now, and many talented writers can't make a living at writing anymore whether they've gone the self-publishing route, are sticking with traditional publishing, or some combination. Those of us just starting out have an even more difficult time of it, so having income coming in is critical to keep food on the table.
