I completed the Start Writing Fiction course in 2020 during the Covid lockdown in Beijing.
Two exercises from week 2 were to describe a writing space, and to imagine a character. I used the writing place for the setting to imagine the character (in my case two).
These two exercises became the first chapter of a book and I just kept writing. The story became a series of five books focused on the main character at various stages of completion.

I am editing and reviewing Broken Promises, Broken People, the follow book to In Death, As in Life. I had previously written a third book, but I felt there a gap, so I have nearly finished For Art Sake, which is the new third book in the series. The fourth book My Life Is a Lie, will need to be partially re-written.

Just write for the joy of writing. Write for yourself. Don't try to write a best seller, because you probably won't. Don't try to please everyone, because you won't. Don't follow the accepted writing 'formulas', just write.
Listen to advice, think about it, apply to your writing if it feels right, but never lose sight that it is your writing, your story.
Believe in yourself, you are good enough and your writing will improve with experience.

Creating characters, giving them life and giving them lives. Watching their world unfold before my eyes. Especially seeing them take their lives where they want to take them, not where I want them to go.
