Hello, i’m quite nervous to send this messages but i am a young writer, or i guess id say that, i enjoy reading your books and they have inspired me to go in depth of my version in the fantasy world, id like to ask for advice on how to go through writing a

Congratulations on diving into writing! I'm so proud of you!

My suggestion would be to read a few books, maybe The First 50 Pages by Jeff Gerke. As a new writer, I think it will be beneficial to just understand the story structure of the first 50 pages of a novel as this is the foundation for the rest of your book.

I also recommend The Magic Words by Cheryl B. Klein. This book does say for Middle Grade and YA novels, however, I write Adult and still found so many useful tools within these pages. For example, I still use the concept of Decision and Consequence (she calls it something different) to outline my novels.

E.g.: MC makes a decision = MC experiences consequence. MC makes another decision. MC experiences another consequence.

I also use concepts from her Plot Checklist which will help you build three-dimensional, deep characters.

I hope this helps! Z
