Goodreads asked Tarun Betala:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tarun Betala 1. Write what you would read (seriously!). This is not my own advice, but it is solid. If you write what you read, you will keep rereading it, and therefore, keep editing it.
2. Set deadlines. It's easy to procrastinate as a writer. If you don't have a looming deadline on your head - it's never going to get done.
3. Be your own worst critic. Only you know the content as well as you. Question ever word, every sentence. Question why. Question if a portion is too long. Question if it's too short.
