Don't be afraid.
I'd tell all aspiring writers (to some extent I still see myself as one) to never be afraid of what might happen.
Ever. There are always many questions you'd ask yourself before you start writing a book, even more once you've already began working on the manuscript, or drafting it, and those question don't decrease over time, or when it's finished. On the contrary. They just change.
I had lunch with a very close friend of mine and I was telling her about my idea to write a book. I thought that was a completely absurd and ludicrous plan at the time. I also expected nothing to come out of it. Bus she said only one thing- 'just don't be afraid.'
I'm trying to repeat that to myself whenever I'm uncertain about writing and the reason of my uncertainty is my fear of rejection.
Just be brave, everything else will happen as it should, one step at a time
