Goodreads asked M.M. John:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

M.M. John Don't do it.
I'm kidding, kind of. Writing is all sweetness and roses at first, because you see it as a way to express yourself. But then, all these people rush in with their rules on what to do. Instead of adoration, you have to accept the fact that some people will never understand your vision, and that's okay. Don't get into writing unless you are ready for people to be very, very, very critical.
