Goodreads asked Justin Bohardt:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Justin Bohardt Realize that you need to prioritize. Until you hit it big (which most never do- most published authors hold full-time "real" jobs), you need a real job, you might want a family, you might have other hobbies, etc. There are only so many hours in the day, so you have to decide if writing is really going to be something you want to do as a profession or something you want to do as a hobby. If the former, you have to let a lot of other stuff fall by the wayside as your "real job" and writing will take up a lot of your time.
