There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but has no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

I would say just go for it, kept trying and don't give up. Even if it's not a full idea write it out and see where it goes. I wrote many books and started so many before I finished my first one. It took me two more books to ever get one that people actually read. But if you just keep trying your ideas and books will get better as you go and people will take notice of that.

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

I would love to write my own comic, maybe some day if I meet the right person to help with the art workZ
