Goodreads asked Nilesh Rathod:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nilesh Rathod I am nobody to give any advice. I can share some experience, since I was one among you and still am even today. Words really write themselves, around 80k such words are needed to make a novel. And when read together they must make sense too. When I started writing all of these were challenges. Well I wrote Destiny of Shattered Dreams in less than a month. In some areas it initially failed to impress me too. But i knew the plot was tight, the story was good and my writing style impressed me so I continued with the edit. Trust me, reading and re-writing and reading and re-writing till it became good enough to share with prospective publishers, I kept at it. I am still not sure of how good it is but I enjoyed writing, I enjoyed editing and now I am enjoying sharing it. What more do you need, published or unpublished, keep writing and sharing. You will learn from comments and reviews and simply keep getting better. I intend to do the same as well. :)
