What advice would you give to new or aspiring authors?
Stop waiting to feel “ready.” Start messy. Start scared. Start unsure. Just start. Your first draft isn’t supposed to be perfect — it’s supposed to exist. Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20. Protect your creativity. Write the story that won’t leave you alone. The one that wakes you up at 2AM. Your journal isn’t just paper — it’s potential. And the only difference between a dream and a published book is consistency. Keep writing. The world is waiting on your voice
