Goodreads asked Nancy Schumann:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nancy Schumann Keep writing. Keep reading. Learn as you go along. Rejection isn't personal. Everybody gets them. Some feedback may try to make you turn your story into something that's not what you wanted to write. Only you can decide if that's an option. If it isn't stick with your story and find the right place for it, rather than just write what somebody wants you to. That said, if somebody offers you feedback listen and use it to learn. Also believe in what you do.
