Goodreads asked Raymond St. Elmo:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Raymond St. Elmo
They always say 'Aim higher than your target'.

Fools. If you aim too high your arrow will come back down upon your head. Granted, aim too low and you pin your foot to the ground.

True Wisdom is this: to choose a target, and aim exactly for it.

Aim; then toss the bow aside, grab the arrow in both hands and run straight for the bull's eye screaming 'I have you now! DIE DIE DIE'

Unless you can find an agent, anyway.
