How should I go about properly getting started on writing stories with the goal of publishing?
I've been wanting to write for years now, and have a few ideas for a few stories I'm into, but I'm not exactly sure where to start if I want to get these published. It sounds generic, but I've come to enjoy a lot of isekai stories, and have come up with about 4-5 different kinds, one of which I already have a beginning, middle, and end point in mind. However, I'm not sure what the best choice is to go about making it a reality. I've seen people mention a site like Royal Road would be a good start, but I'm not sure how effective that is in getting the story officially published. Does anyone have any advice for me that could help?
