Tips:

• Finish your story. It doesn't have to be perfect, but you can't edit a story that isn't written. Just write! When you get to revisions you'll be able to fix plot holes, improve dialogue, add description, etc. 
• Set a certain time every day when you can write consistently. 
• Attend a writing conference near you, or attend one online. 
• When it's time to search for an editor, send out at least five sample edits to make sure you find someone who maintains your voice and edits in a way that fits your style. Make sure they offer a contract and a style sheet!
• Invest in an editor before you publish, whether it's copy and line editing or proofreading. Whatever you can afford. Having a polished and professional book is important. 

Resources:

• Scrivener. I've used this program for YEARS and I love it. Many people get overwhelmed with all the features, but I don't use most of them. It works perfect for me!
• Brandon Sanderson teaches creative writing at BYU and has an entire semester worth of classes for FREE on YouTube. I watched every single one at the beginning of my writing journey and found them very valuable.
• Vellum. This is a program you pay for one time, and then you can use it to format your own books! It's intuitive and easy to use, and creates beautiful books. 
• Cover Designer. This is genre specific, of course, but if you write fantasy, Dragana with Graphicsoulart is incredible and I highly recommend her. 
• Newsletter and website. I use Mailerlite for both and found it relatively easy to set up!
• Rachel Parker at closeddoorromance.com offers a Bookstagram Academy course for romance authors that was incredibly helpful for me!!
