Goodreads asked E. Jean Simpson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E. Jean Simpson Stop waiting for the right time, the good time, the appropriate time. If you want to get started, then get started. Pick up a computer, a pen, a camera. Believe in yourself and learn from everything you can. If you don't succeed, it shouldn't be because you didn't start. Sometimes just getting the book up is a big success. You've done something that you said you should and didn't look for reasons not to.
