Just start. That's the hardest part. Read, jot down notes, make a framework for our story. Read similar books by authors you admire. Don't just read for enjoyment, study how they write. What is the flow of the story like? How do they use dialogue? How do they develop their characters? Read to pick it apart and study it. Then apply what you learn to your own work.
