Goodreads asked Shannon MacFarlane:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Shannon MacFarlane Get a good editor. No matter how talented, we all have some bad habits. Also, be very careful with whom you share your early drafts. Artists are sensitive and first drafts are fragile. Guard your story until it has matured a bit.
