Goodreads asked Kathleen M. Jacobs:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kathleen M. Jacobs I always return to the advice that Harper Lee gave to my creative writing students many years ago, in a letter that she wrote to me responding to my request to provide writing advice for my students: "Don't fall in love with what you write to the extent that you cannot edit it."
