What does it take to finish a manuscript and become an author? Getting started as a writer is an intimidating prospect that involves a lot of knowledge, practice, and determination. With so much that you don’t know, and so much to learn, the path can seem overwhelming. Sometimes courses and programs, like the ALC Book in a Year program, can help writers get started. However, the most important—and perhaps most difficult—part of the process is to sit down and actually write. Howard V. Hendrix, science fiction author and English professor, shares important advice for aspiring fiction authors. “The key thing is don’t get in your own way,” says Hendrix. He advises that you research and learn your craft but then give yourself a chance by actually writing. It can be easy to get stuck in the preparation phase out of fear. But you’re the only one who can turn your story idea into a published novel. Watch the clip below to hear Hendrix’s advice for new fiction writers.
