You can do this! I don’t have a degree in writing either. All I’ve ever done was write fanfictions that are novel length. I’m currently working on 2 different novels myself, one sci-fi horror and another romance. I like to plot but vaguely. For me, it’s the most fun to figure the story out as I go. Do whatever works best for you 💛
@@katherine1304 I guess it is insane 😂 I used to write fanfic when I was a really young teen but it wasn’t very good. Then I started writing it again almost 8 years later and I’ve improved a ton, so I’ve decided to write actual novels. Working on a survival horror/sci-fi book right now. It’s hard to write, for sure. But the hardest part is starting it. Just start! Even if it isn’t very good, make yourself write anyway. The only way to improve is to just keep writing. And even if you’re only writing like 50 words a day, you’re still making progress! :)
I’m in a very similar position, except I’ve been wanting to write a book most of my adult life. I wrote a lot in high school and college, but then married young and started having kids right away so it took a back seat all this time. I love reading, and I find myself saying during each novel- “wow this must have been so much fun to write!” So now that it’s summer break and I have more time I’m going to dive in and get something started. I’m excited to follow along since I have no real life friends with this passion!
Wishing you all the luck with this!! Biggest tips: plan, plan, plan ahead of time 🤣 and find a novel that inspires you that you can use as a "textbook" for reference as you go along ^.^
Great video Stephanie!
