Goodreads asked Omar Abed:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Omar Abed Just write! Start with whatever inspires you at the moment, and keep writing. I'm usually a planner, and planning is sometimes great, but it can impede progress. When you have an idea, write it. Don't get bogged down with the details and revisioning. Just write, and when you get tired of writing about one thing, switch to another. I constantly have multiple stories in the works, or I work on different parts of one story at the same time, to avoid getting overwhelmed or bored by one part of the story.
