I’m starting to write a fiction novel. A friend of mine works in publishing and she thinks the plot for my book is great but I’m not sure how to start. I know a lot of the details and I’ve thought up everything in my head but I don’t know how to change my thoughts into words. I’ve always wanted to write and I did a few writing classes in high school but never really went anywhere with it as I went straight into working to save for a car. How do I get started, to move from ideas to written words? Not a duplicate of [What are some online guides for starting writers?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/1) as they’re asking for writing guidelines whereas I’m asking for general tips on how to start my book.
