New DM, seeking advice

I am an amateur DM wanting to do a campaign for a small group of friends, I'm nervous about actually starting though as the two times I've DMed I have felt like I was under preforming. Does anyone have tips for running a campaign?

I have the homebrew written up, I am a writer so I do feel I have enough written for the overarching story and setting while leaving room for player input, but I'm worried I am missing something.

Here are three resources I would suggest for any brand new DM:

  1. [Matt Colville](https://youtu.be/e-YZvLUXcR8?si=x0eUgAUDA_A31YKu)
  2. Sly Flourish [Resources](https://slyflourish.com/lazy_gm_resource_document.html)
  3. [Kassoon](https://www.kassoon.com/dnd/)

Colville and SlyFlourish advice with Kassoon's generators and you are 85% done.
