Goodreads asked Walter Rhein:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Walter Rhein Have a source of income other than writing. Pushing your work, even when you're with a traditional publisher, is an investment. If you have a story you believe in, you should share it, but the focus should be on sharing the story, not on monetary gain (because there isn't any).
