I'll say two things.

One, just write.

It sounds overly simplified, I know, but that's what it all boils down to. Nothing else can happen with your story if you never write it.

Don't make excuses about time or equipment or motivation. If you're daydreaming about your story while in a waiting room, pull up a note app on your phone and write what you're daydreaming. If you get a burst of inspiration but can't sit down to write, jot notes down on your arm to be typed up later.

Just write.

And two, write what you like.

This story, first and foremost, should be something you like. You're going to spend hours and hours, over the course of months or even years depending on your writing process, immersed in this story. And then, there's a ton of editing. And then, if you publish, there's a ton more time working with and around the story.

Don't torment yourself. Write what you actually like.(less)

In this regard, I'm a little... odd.
I don't set out a specific list at any point in time. I have a 3 foot by 3 foot shelf in my library dedicated solely to books I want to read at some point. After I finish a book and move it to my "read" shelf at the height that corresponds to how much I liked it, I sit in the floor in front of this "to be read" shelf for as long as it takes me to find one that I want to read right then.
I look at the titles and covers. I pull them off the shelf and read the blurbs. If the blurb piques my interest given the mood I'm in at that point, I flip to the first page (never the last page) and start reading. If it grabs me, that's what I read.
So, it's a little difficult to give a list that I want to read this season, but I can tell you a few recent additions to the shelf that I'm excited about. The Wielder series by Elle Cardy recently found its way onto my shelf, as did Omega Rising by Douglas S. Pierce. The Crown of Conspiracy series by Kara S. Weaver (the books that are out so far) are waiting for me, as is Sorceress of Truth by Jodie Cross.
I'm currently reading Rising from Dust by Martine Carlsson.(less)

An Explanation: The End of the Blog

So, starting an author platform is a daunting task. There are so many things that people say you HAVE to do, and then they go on to say that everything varies from one person to another.

Which is completely true, unfortunately.

There are few things that are constants from one author to another.

And as someone who has always been by the book (pun intended), someone who feels pressured to do what I “ha

I really enjoyed this. It was a really interesting take on cosmic horror where humanity (or an AI that was once human) becomes the unknown monster in the cosmos. The characters were great, as was the psychology that went into them and their arcs.

This was pretty good.

The characters were interesting, and for the most part, the things that happened were pretty realistic. The final big confrontation departed a little from reality (I won't name names, but the person would've definitely died with
