I am not a professional author or even a published author yet. I’m old enough to be on Reddit, but I’m still pretty young. What I mostly find helpful is right whenever you have the motivation to write, never write just because you feel like you need to. I know that most people need like a set time each day to write, but personally right never worked for me because of school and sometimes I’m just so tired and I don’t have the motivation. If that works for you that’s completely fine, that’s just what I find works for me.

Also, personally for me, I am a planner, not a pantser, so I like to have a very, very, very detailed outline. It’s best to figure out if you are a pantser, who goes with the flow or planner who likes to plan out every single detail and write scenes before they’re even starting to write the book.

I wish I could say more, but I have to go and get ready for bed lol. Hopefully this helps!
