19. Pen a Novel

We’re willing to bet you’ve got hundreds of stories worth telling! So why not write a novel? You can write about anything, you could transform real-life experiences in to fantastical ones, or you could start something from scratch with just the help of your imagination. Whatever the case, we’re also willing to bet that you have enough free time to see this through.

Unsure of where to start? Not to worry, a lot of authors have the same issue. Sometimes it’s a good idea to just start and not worry too much about the beginning. That’s what the editing process is for, to fix up all your mistakes.
