A Goodreads user asked Helen H. Durrant:

What is the first, most important thing you would tell someone who feels they have a book in them to write, to do?

Helen H. Durrant Write, write and write again. Get your ideas down. Don't worry how it reads to begin with - it doesn't matter, you can hone it later. If you've got a story in you then make time to write it. You need discipline - a time when you write every day regardless. Don't put it off. Good luck.
