Unlock the Secrets: What Every Aspiring Fiction Writer Must Know to Master the Craft

What’s the best way to learn the craft of fiction writing? Should you get a book of exercises and work through it? Or should you just start writing?
Scott posted this question on my “Ask A Question For My Blog” page:
Hi Randy, freshman writer here. My question is around practicing craft. Do you recommend freshman looking to get started pick up a beginners guide to writing and work through the examples and practice writing prompts or start writing a novel if they have an idea? I have a beginners book that I am working through but I also have some novel ideas I am itching to get started on. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks Scott
