Goodreads asked Khurshed Batliwala:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Khurshed Batliwala Just write.
Know the difference between writing and editing and don't do the two at the same time. While the creative juices are flowing, just write. Don't bother about grammar and sentence construction and all that. Just get all those ideas onto paper (or screen). You can always delete something later if you don't like it. Keep writing.
Once that phase is done, go in and edit.
You will be surprised how much writing will happen when you don't try to edit as you write.
