User blog:Smokelahoma/Looking for a mentor

I'm new to this site and looking for anyone that loves to help beginners with writing. I am a huge fan of horror and especially of short horror stories. I am currently studying a creative writing workbook and have already come up with a pretty original premise for a story I would like to eventually write and share on here. I know I need to work longer in the workbook and read more advice blogs and topics on writing, but I have no patience and I'm dying to share my idea with someone who would want to collaborate with me on it and share credit.

I have a horrible problem with ruminating and daydreaming and figured I could channel these thoughts into something productive.

Some burning questions I have right now are:

What should I start with first-Character development? Outline for the story? Do I come up with an ending first and write the book backwards? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks for reading my post.
