When you have finished your book, expand it. Keep on doing this, but with different kinds of stories such as History, Magic, (etc.)
Write something every day, even if it is only a nonsense word or a small, free verse poem. If you want to write for TV, and you can afford it, Google 'professional TV advisors' and get help from the professionals.^{[2]XResearch source}
It will help you feel how it is to write. Even if it is fiction or non-fiction. You need to get the hang of it!
Let your stories be read. Soon after, you'll probably be recognized by a magazine or website.
Even if you've been waiting for a while to see if anyone likes your writing, wait! Patience is the key. And if someone doesn't like it, ask someone else to look at it. Maybe a friend or a family member. Don't let your hopes down!^{[3]XResearch source}
Write what you are interested in reading about. Let your characters be real to you, and know them all from Eve. Love your characters like they are your best friends.

Question
What sites are there that I can submit my stories to?
Community Answer
Tumblr is a great site for uploading poems and stories and then tagging them under appropriate categories such as #sci-fi, #romance, etc. Wattpad is also a great resource for getting your writing out there and showing how good a writer you are.

Question
How do I come up with GOOD, creative ideas?
Community Answer
Read as much as you can, you will get a better idea for what kinds of stories work. Next, brainstorm and write down as many ideas as you can think of (i.e summer camp, castle, magic, gods, powers, etc.). Cute a few of them until you have a nice plot for a story. (A girl who can't feel pain has awoken in an apocalyptic type era.) Then write! Let your imagination roam free and others will feel your creativity as well.

Tips

Get a first draft written. Do not even think about editing until a draft is finished! Write now, edit later.

Don't wait for inspiration, pick a time everyday to write. Always write something down, even if its speed pages, a character log, or a journal entry. Staring at a blank page will get you nowhere.

Create a new persona for yourself. For example, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter is an easy name to remember because it's unusual. Tweak your name into remembrance!

It is probably best not to show it to your friends and family. Although they may enjoy reading it, they may not give you and constructive criticism you can work with, and make you overly confident in what you have already written, and closed off to editing and improving.
