I've thought about writing every now and then for a long time now but never managed to really get myself to start. Outside of academic stuff I've only written one or two very short stories maybe ten years ago. How would you guys recommend should I start if I wanted to get into writing? Any good videos or guides on that topic?
Outline your story.
>>23981018ive written 7 books and my advice is just set up a text file, write an outline and write everyday as much as possible

>>23981018What kind of theme that you want to explore in there? what kind of philosophy that you want to cover in there? A book writing process should benefit both author and reader in that particular aspect. For example, you dont just go ahead and write a story about a guy who wants to get a girlfriend and he succeed and they fuck. No, its only beneficial to your fictional character which are basically nothing, because they're fictional character. Instead, you have to write a story about a guy who got himself a girlfriend after finding unsatisfying truth about life, work, and unrewarding passion; he found a girlfriend where in the process of dating the girl, he found some inner peace in there, a form of escapism of this endless routine of life. If you dumb the moral message, of course it will sound as corny as "love is the essence of everything". But people will find your actual writing quality that are lies between the plot and submerged with the prose and intertwined with each other within a good flow. That's where your story turned from a simple paperback novel to quality literatur.
For a fantasy novel you start with worldbuilding. For examplr:AND THE L O R D SAID...
