These foundations will set you on the right path:

• Build a reading habit: explore novels, short stories and poetry across genres to absorb how authors craft their work.
• Establish a routine: even a short daily session builds the discipline that turns ideas into finished pieces.
• Start with prompts: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
