Q&A I am teaching myself how to write a novel -- where can I find support and resources?

I want to have training in how to write fiction (particularly science fiction). I know that I can take courses (in my case online), and that I can join critique groups. I am on a budget, however....

I did find a book titled "[90 Days To Your Novel](https://www.buffalolib.org/vufind/Record/1868545/Reviews)" by Sarah Domet. It looks promising, except some reviews say that it takes way more than 90 days to do the assignments; they are only supposed to take two to three hours a day. Additionally, it would be nice to have an accountability partner or a support group while working this book.

**Where would a person find such a person or persons? Are there better resources than this book to learn writing from?**
