Steps in fiction writing. Designate a place to write. Gather everything you will need to write…each day. Make that a regimen and let it become a solid habit.
Commit to a length of time, word count or pages to be accomplished each day that you plan to write. Attempt to be consistent. Attempt to reach your goals.
Have an attitude of excitement about the time you will invest and how the experience will be done. Love your words and let them flow. Publish your work as soon as possible on Smashwords.com. Ask how it will help keep your work safe from theft. It is another of the many steps in writing fiction.

Steps in fiction writing. What I have listed is the start. The nuances of writing are too many to be written here. Stephen King, John Grisham, George Martin, J K Rowling, James Paterson, Michael Wolff or E.L. James, also known as Erika Leonard, did not have a crystal ball that directed them and professed what their work would contribute to society or the amount of compensation that would come to each of them in the future.
