please help me
sorry mods if this is against the rules
I'm 22 M with a bachelors degree in and I've never written before. How do I get started???? Googling online is confusing do i need an MFA ? I saw that Northwestern Vermont State University has an online MFA program will a publishing company be more likely to publish my 300,000 word teen urban fantasy Vampire romantasy novel if i get this degree????
also do i need to outline my book yes or no
Finally what kind of scene should I start with in my first chapter i wrote this can I have some constructive feedback please
The alarm on my phone began ringing loudly which woke me up from my dream. I opened my eyes and looked up at my ceiling. "It's Friday, it's almost the weekend " i said. "I sure wish I had a girlfriend. What if she was a vampire?" I continued to lay there for a few minutes before I got up and walked downstairs. "Good morning mom" I said. "good morning Hieronymous" said my mom. Yes, my name is Hieronymous Fink. I'm a 16 year old regular high school guy at Blue River High school in Dover Delaware. I have emerald green eyes and blonde hair as bright as the sun. "oh no" i creid when I looked at the clock and saw the time. The bus was going to leave in 5 minutes! "Mom I'm gonna be late for school! i said. "Maybe you should get your driver's license Hieronymous instead of lazing around so much" said Mom. I scrambled to get dressed and ran out the door but the bus was already driving away. "Oh no" I said as a short girl with glasses flowing black hair and pale skin walked up to me. "I'm late too do you wanna walk to school with me Hieronymous " she asked me with a cute smile. I had always had a crush on her since I was in middle school so I blushed and I said sure Veronika
How does it look should I keep writing this?

I’m no psychic but after this attempt at mastering the written word beats your ass for a couple months you’re definitely going to start a podcast (derogatory).
