@vampbitch67 thank you!! I’d say in general just reading helps develop writing skills/ style since you can pick and choose which aspects you like from stories and use them yourself. Other than that, before beginning to write anything I personally like having a very in depth plot outline as well as character profiles even for fanfics. Make sure you plan your beginning, middle, and end so you don’t end up writing yourself into a hole. Also looking at plot diagrams can be helpful. Goodluck!
