Goodreads asked Sela Carsen:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sela Carsen Finish. The damn. Book.

No kidding. I've met too many people who write for years, fiddling and dabbling, writing immense world building bibles or pages and pages of character sketches, who never seem to get around to writing The End. You can't know how powerful those two words are until you write them yourself.

Finish the book. Everything else comes after that.
