Goodreads asked Jacqueline Heron Wray:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jacqueline Heron Wray Write.
It doesn't matter what, just write it down, even if it is in a notebook with a pencil. You don't need to show it to anyone if you don't want to.

"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story" Terry Pratchett.

First drafts and I speak from experience, might be awful until you polish and edit, polish and edit, and then polish and edit some more.
