Goodreads asked Rachel E. Kelly:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Rachel E. Kelly Your first draft WILL be crap. Accept it. Embrace it. Expect it. Do NOT try to write a finished product on the first try. You will only disappoint yourself and you will take far too long to get the story out if you're busy quibbling over getting your first draft perfect.
