AFAWN - Introduction

Welcome to Advice From a Writing Noob! The goal of these posts is to help you get from book idea to book! And to be clear, this is for fiction only. But why listen to me if I’m just a noob? Well, because I’ve been where you are and I consider myself a pretty average person when it comes to literature. English was my worst subject in school (I’m a math/science guy) and I don’t like to read books. So if I can turn an idea into a book, so can you!

Having said that, everyone has different writing styles and processes. And along the way, you’ll find yours too. So with each step on how to get started, I’ll offer some generic advice, but then follow up with explaining how I did it and my own experiences, in case that works for you too.

Feel free to ask questions and leave comments. If you’re another writer/author reading this, feel free to add your own experiences.
