Are you ready to write a book? It may take some plotting before you get started, which can be daunting if you've never done it before. First, you need a story seed, and then you can choose which route you want to take. I suggest Brandon Sanderson's bracket-plotting method for beginners over strict plot structures like The Hero's Journey. Once you're done plotting, you'll want to develop a writing schedule to keep yourself honest. Then, write! Hopefully, all these tips on how to write a book will help you finish your first draft!
