Goodreads asked Genta Sebastian:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Genta Sebastian Stop finding reasons why you can't do it. Quit listening to the little voice in your head that finds any reason not to sit down and start.

Then write an outline, or synopsis, or draw/paint/find an image that inspires you, and just START.

The process can seem overwhelming from a distance, but it's no different than putting one foot in front of the other. Just start, and don't worry about rewrites, edits, publishing, promotion, and the host of other things until AFTER the first draft is finished.

OR - find a call for submissions with a deadline, and meet it. That's actually how I started.
