Goodreads asked Cressida McLaughlin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cressida McLaughlin Be passionate about what you're writing. If you're not, you won't fight for it through the edits, the self-doubt, the submissions and rejections. If you're doing it because you want to get famous or rich, then you're approaching it all wrong. Write because you can't not write, because you want to tell that story, because you love it.
