Dear Mr.Korman,

Hello from India! I am an avid reader of your books and hope that this find yourself and your family in good health. 

A little bit about myself: I used to be that guy that read classics and scoffed at anything modern as lacking a drive or a message. Most characters in modern books seemed to pointlessly float about. 

Though I still love a good classic, reading Restart changed that for me. I really love how you integrate elements of modern life to make a story more relatable and fun, while still sending a message. After Restart I went on a spree, from Macdonald Hall to Mixed Up and it was an inspiration for me to write myself. 

I have been writing a story/blog everyday for a month and sharing it with my friends, who actually like it! (It started out as a joke but I kept writing).  I also keep a diary.

I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to level up as a writer. I aim to put out a book someday, but have no clue how to start on something so big. I can make ideas for short stories take a concrete form for a small well-known target audience but a book seems to massive and ambiguous to tie together. I feel stuck and have no clue how to improve the quality of my work. I would consider a tremendous favor if you could help.

Yours sincerely
NK
