Goodreads asked Narendra Mohan Mittal:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Narendra Mohan Mittal My opinion of course: don’t try and organize, just write. Writing is an activity, not an aspiration. Look for your own voice…this comes with time and your voice will be influenced by others, but there is a flow to your own and you will have the sense, “I’m good at this ….” Write to the one, not for the many.

Never stop believing in yourself!

The words might not always flow. There will be times when you’ll doubt yourself and times you think your writing sucks...and at times, that might even be true (it happens, accept it, don’t beat yourself up about it) but if you can keep that faith that you are doing what you need to be doing right now...then you’ll be fine.

Don’t be scared to share your words. They are awesome. You are awesome. You have a story inside of you that is amazing and it’s probably not as bad as you think it is.

Take pride in being an author. Hone the art of positivity, empathy, observation, and listening.

Writing about your expertise or experiences will help you author a gripping fiction or nonfiction book, in less time.
