Goodreads asked Joe Fontenot:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Joe Fontenot To learn the difference between a thick skin and a tough skin. The first is supple, allows you to incorporate change, and still be a person. The second is like armor, nothing in and nothing out. The first comes out of a lot of hurt--and that's okay. The second come from getting hurt and then running away instead of working through it. The first is, I think, the successful path.
