First, you need to pick one out of the three: Fiction, Non-fiction, and poetry. Are you a creative writer, A poetic person, or someone who likes to write about facts?
Then, pick your genre (for fiction). What type of story are you going to write? Here is a list of genres:
Flash fiction
Science fiction(Sci-fi)
Fantasy
Romance
Horror
Historical fiction
Teen fiction
Action
Adventure
Etc.
If you don't yet have an idea, leave it as General fiction.
The Next step is to choose your main character. What is his/her gender? What is his/her name? How does he/she behave? What does he/she like? Does he/she have any conflict between his/her personalities? Ask yourself these questions.
Then, choose your secondary character. If your main character is a protagonist, it is probably the best that you choose an antagonist. For example, the secondary character is the main character's family member that longs for murder.
If you finished that, it's time to set the story plot. A good story plot could drive your story all on its own. For example, the main character got delivery in their mailbox and had to face a part of his/her life before.
Next step: Set goals for your writing. For example, on Monday you could write about 100 words of your book, Tuesday rest, and so on.
Last step: Edit! Edit, edit, edit. Get your peer, teacher or a family member to review your work. If they are satisfied, then you should move onto the final step: Publishing.
I will post another blog about how exactly you could do that, so stay tuned!
