: Re: What are some online guides for starting writers? I've always wanted to start writing (in a totally amateur way), but whenever I want to start something I instantly get blocked having a lot

I just wanted to add this resource as an answer for this question, even though the question is quite old, because the resource was created exactly for new writers to help them learn the craft of writing while writing their first novel.

Disclosure - this is my website.
www.novel-software.com/novelwritingroadmap
This is basically a step-by-step guide to writing a novel, starting with the premise and expanding it into a story skeleton, then synopsis, then full plot, with advice at every stage.

I originally created the steps for myself, to keep track of all the theory I'd read and what I'd learned from my own experience, and to have all the right info at my fingertips at just the right point in the novel writing process.

Once I'd created the method / process I thought about how much I'd have liked to have had it when I was starting out, so thought other people might like to use it.
