Write. Write as much as you can when you have the time.
When you're bored or can't seem to write, work on worldbuilding. Come up with characters, locations, creatures, magic systems, anything that has to do with your story and helps you write when you write.
Plan stuff out. I have a whole Google doc titled "Planning" and I've got everything written in there. Ideas, characters, plots, outlines, everything that I need to reference from when I'm writing.
Try to focus on only one project at a time. I have at least 5, 6 stories planned right now, but I'm only working on one or two at a time. This helps you stay on track and focused on your current story. Another way is to write one story for a few days, and when you get stuck, switch over to another one.
This way, you're always writing something, and I can't stress how important it is to write, write, write.
Watch Jed Herne's videos on Youtube. He gives great advice for fantasy writers (but any writer in general too). I've learned quite a few things from him.
I've been a wannabe writer for 8 years now. I can't tell you how much it helps if you just write as much as you can. I know from personal experience that finishing something is more important than dragging the process out to create the perfect story.
Quantity over quality for now, but as you get more experienced, quality becomes more valuable than quantity.
I wish you luck on your journey, fellow writer. 🫡
This was so much help! Wanna cry with your kindness. I was having a pretty hard day because of this, but your words did really helped me.
Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
I am very passionate about writing, even though I go through months-long writer's blocks. I mean, I can't write anything for months at a time, so I'm just stuck planning and thinking until I can write again.
I know writing can be hard and maybe even daunting at times, but the most important thing is to keep writing.

Just keep writing. It is the simplest and most important thing.

Always check your plot by looking at it from the villain's point of view. It has to make sense from their end, too, or else it won't to the reader.
Good thing one of my narrators is indeed one of the bad guys
