Goodreads asked Neena Verma:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Neena Verma Start before you start ...
Sense your gut, ask your self what theme/topic is stirring there
Feel your heart, is your heart ready to flow with it
Prepare your mind to do adequate research, more importantly reflective research
Start ... Don't task yourself, don't monitor yourself too often, don't judge yourself ... Let the first few thousands of words flow as it is , and then one when really feel fully into it, sit down to read & edit yourself no judgementally
MOST IMPORTANTLY ... Remember your best advisors are your gut instinct, your heart & your head. Don't take external advices too seriously.
