First, let me tell you that it&amp;rsquo;s a good idea and it&amp;rsquo;s a great thing that you are a coder. Quite a few successful authors have a background in software development. &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543164/"&gt;Arrival&lt;/a&gt;, (which is a fabulous movie), comes from the book, &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/1101972122"&gt;Stories of your Life&lt;/a&gt;, written by a fellow programmer &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Chiang"&gt;Ted Chiang&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stross"&gt;Charlie Stross&lt;/a&gt; is another fine example. One of my favorites is [Daniel Suarez](&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Suarez_(author)"&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Suarez_(author)&lt;/a&gt;, the author of the&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/DAEMON-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451228731"&gt; Daemon&lt;/a&gt; and more recently &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Change-Agent-Novel-Daniel-Suarez/dp/110198466X/"&gt;Change Agent&lt;/a&gt;. So yes, you can write a fiction book and you&amp;rsquo;re in good company. This post is dedicated to help make it happen.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
