Goodreads asked Orly Wahba:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Orly Wahba Start. I know it sounds simple but it's far from it. We will always create reasons and excuses why we can't begin, why NOW isn't the right time. But what I've learned is that the right time is when you decide for it to be. The timing may never be perfect, the writing may not come out as you had planned for it to, but if you don't begin - your words, your thoughts, your stories will be trapped inside of you hidden away from a world of people that could be enjoying them at this very moment. Forget the fear. The fear of failure, the fear that you won't be good enough, that your words won't matter, that no one will care. Forget the endless list of excuses to push it off to another day and start.
