Goodreads asked Saurabh Sharma:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Saurabh Sharma Firstly, do not let the story decide the end. Let the end decide the story.

Secondly, write daily. Even if you write shit one day, next day, write again.

Thirdly, there might be times when self-doubt will obscure your sensibilities. Share your first couple of chapters with someone who has not read them before. If they don't like them, you know you have to re-work on them and if they do, you will get motivation to write the next few chapters. Keep such 20 friends ready :)

And finally, re-write as many times as you can. Every time you revisit a sentence or a paragraph, you will be in a different state of mind than you were when you visited it last. That will bring in a fresh perspective and will help make it better.
