Goodreads asked Daniella Dechristopher:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Daniella Dechristopher I must have told my friends thousands of times, "One day I am going to write a book." Then one day, I stumbled across a UTube video about writing. I wish I would have saved it so I could share it with you. It was one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. In summary, he said to write the book or shut up already. I sat down that night and I knew I either had to start writing my book or I needed to stop telling my friends that I was going to write a book. He was truly my inspiration. I wanted to write the book, but I didn't know where to start. I decided there was only one place, the beginning. My book went through four costly edits, but I can finally say it was all worth it. I am proud of the book it has become. I learned how to be a better writer for my next book. Sit down and write your book. If you don't like the way it reads when you are done, do rewrites. I did a lot of rewrites. I will tell you that the experience has been one of the best I have had in my life. Stop thinking about it and do it! Good Luck with your writing!
