Goodreads asked Jeff Hillary:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jeff Hillary Sit down and actually write something. That's always the hardest part. Don't worry about making it perfect, just write it. Start at the beginning, and go all the way to the end. After you've got a completely finished product in your hand, then you can go back and start rewriting and tweaking and fixing. Even if the start is rough, you'll find your flow by the end and you can fix it in the rewrite.

The most important thing is to get the entire idea out of your head and onto paper. Until you've done that, you can't do anything.
