Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this.
I have never wrote ANYTHING apart from stuff in school, that was a good 15 years ago and was pretty standard childish writing. I've always loved fantasy and ancient history, and thankfully am a relatively creative person. I have all these ideas swimming around my mind about worlds and characters. Recently I said screw it, I'll write a story. But here is my problem...I have no idea if it is any good, or if it still sounds like the writing I would do in class when I was younger.
I would love any help, on getting started writing, how do I know it is decent writing? I have all these ideas but not really any "story" as such, it is more just the characters I have, no real end goal. What do I need to look out for when I write? I have a thousand questions, so any "top tips" whether it be on character development and the story or just "dont use too many adverbs". ANYTHING would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, apologies if that makes little sense.
