Hi, 
          
          First off, I want to tell you that there is no advice, which is one for all. Somethings might work for me, while it might not for you and vise versa. You have decided to write and that is wonderful and rewarding thing. So congrats. I am not expert in this field so keep that in mind, I am still learning so keep that in mind. 
          
          Starting a book, I wrote down the main characters and the central or main conflict between them. It can be physical conflict like we see villains in a film. It can be emotional like struggling with addiction or fighting inner demons. It can  be something like financial crisis or situations. 
          
          Readers love it when conflict get's resolved, like Villain getting defeated or main character gaining confidence, win against inner demons (confidence, self care,  expression of feelings), getting rich or some situation based on what kind of conflict was there.
          
          It is important for our characters to grow or change over time, have some ideas for how you are going to move plot forward.

@aprmsd Thanks so much. I really needed this because I always struggled with finishing my books or to stay consistent.

Few things I would Avoid : 
            
            
            1. Writing too many books at one time, If I am just beginner. 
            2. Not having enough ideas to move plot forward at the beginning of the book. 
            3. Spelling mistakes, not having proper spacing. 
            4. Unnecessary characters/ scenes which doesn't move storyline forward. 
            5. Not being perfectionist, Many people have perfectionist mindset, for example. I am starting book so I will add chapters everyday. Now this is possible but not that easy to achieve this kind of consistency, So If you are in this mindset, if you miss day or two or let's say a week. It's over for you because of perfectionist mindset. You will lose motivation and end up abandoning the book. It's okay even if It's been a month or two, you can always continue where you left off. 
            6. Thinking too much about votes and views. Write it for yourself and complete your work, regardless of views and votes. They will come eventually.  
            
            
            Try to write consistently in the beginning, few chapters per week or at least one per week. Engage with readers, promote your book after there is enough chapters for someone to read, It will give them good idea about the book. I am always there for new writers to help, because I wanted someone to help me when I started, so that's why I always try to help if someone asks me. Thanks.
