Start Writing!

Don’t expect to be finished in a week.
Prepare yourself for constructive criticism and don’t take it personally.
Realize you don’t have to sit down and write your story from beginning to end.
Write as the mood hits you and tie it all together later.
Acknowledge no one has all the answers to the writing process.
Join a critique group.

Do you work better in a classroom setting?

Consider the Author Academy.
Join a community.
Be held accountable for your writing progress.

Blue Dragon has joined forces with Blue Fortune Enterprises to offer creative writing and the business of being an author classes.

Do you need a little more structure?

Consider Plottr. While not required to write a novel, I have found Plottr useful to keep my characters straight across a series and to track my key plot points.

Visually drag ‘n’ drop your scenes, chapters, and character arcs so you can quickly find your way to the end of your tale — no corkboard required…and no AI!
