I was orange pilled by a client I was coaching (writing improvement) in 2022.

I published my first book in 2018 and had been writing fiction seriously since 2014.

Some tips if you are new to fiction:

1. Read a lot of the genre you are writing
2. Join a community where you can give and receive feedback on your work.
3. Do any fiction courses or learning you can, but not all at once!
4. Plan stories thoroughly. More groundwork helps you to write to the end.
5. Set goals you can reach - finish a story, submit to a magazine or competition, achieve publication, get your first pay.

Writing and publishing is a marathon, so learn to love the journey.

Good luck!
