Hi there! Well, I came to give you some tips as I promised.
What I always say is.... Love your characters with all your heart. Feel them alive, like they were part of your life. If you think about it, they are part of you.
Learn from those authors you admire. Don't just read them, pay attention to how they write, how they use words, punctuation, how they manage their characters, the story, the events. Learn from them as much as you can.
The story is yours, so you must know what is going to happen. You must plan ahead the biggest events, at least, so you'll know where you are going, where you are leading your characters.
Do your best. Don't write just for the sake of writing. No, do it because you love your characters, because you want to let them be free. It doesn't matter the number of people who read you, but if you are giving your characters the opportunity to live through your words. Write for yourself, for your characters; not for a number, not for popularity.
Enjoy. Just enjoy every word you type. Writing is so beautiful it can't be fully described.
Hope that will help you.
Bel, xx
