Goodreads asked Marcy Pusey:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Marcy Pusey Writing is beautiful and painful and healing... but it is also full of temptation- to sell yourself out to a market, to trade in the joy of writing for the stresses of being a business person, etc. It is full of discouragement and waiting and rejection. BUT KEEP AT IT. If you know this is what you want to do in life and it GIVES YOU LIFE to do it, then shun the rejection and discouragement and fears and just keep writing. Learn the skills, yes, but don't be boxed in by the market. Write and write and write.
