Natasha asked Madhuri Pavamani:

Hi Madhuri, What advice would you give to someone who wants to start writing their own novels?

Madhuri Pavamani Hi Natasha, good question.

I would say first, before anything else and because he is brilliant, read the Bukowski poem "So You Want to be a Writer" because it's dead on. And if you're one of those people that simply must write, that it comes screaming out of you, seeking release, and is explosive and urgent and fierce, then go for it and just write. And you'll find that once you put aside your fears of the what-ifs and how-comes, it will pour out of you and soon enough you'll reach a place where you can no longer remember not writing every day, not creating, not weaving words into magic, and it will be bliss and you'll never want to go back to the way you were before you leapt off the creative cliff.

So by all means, if it's urgent and necessary and you've got to get those words out lest you explode, then just do it...JUMP!!
