Embedded Files
Start with Freewriting:
Pick up a pen and paper or your laptop and just start writing. Write whatever comes to mind, it doesnβt have to come out good but do it without censoring or editing. This will make your creative juices flow and ready to write a story.
Use Prompts:
Use writing prompts (like our prompts which you can find on the site or ones on Pinterest), write about personal experiences (eg. childhood memories) or fanfiction. These will give you inspiration when you have no idea what to write.
Read Frequently:
Reading widely (from contemporary to classical, fiction to nonfiction and horror to fantasy) and often to improve your craft and spark new ideas.
Establish a Routine:
Find a time of day, a few hours or even just a few minutes. Set aside this time to write something, anything at all. Commit to a daily or weekly writing schedule that you have created. Additionally, dedicate a specific, quiet place for writing to sharpen your focus.
Just Start:
Don't wait for inspiration, if you do, you might never start. Begin writing, trust the process and let your creativity follow.
Seek Feedback:
Share your work on forums or with peers or family to get constructive feedback. Join Be open to the constructive criticism they offer you.
Start Small:
Set manageable goals, such as writing a few sentences or a small paragraph per day. When just starting out, focus on writing short stories or a single story first (not a series).
Stop in the Middle:
End your writing session in the middle of a scene, making it easier to start again the next day.
Refine Your Work:
Focus on editing only after you have completed your first draft. In order to stop yourself from editing whilst writing, you have to understand & embrace that your first version will not be great.
Outline Your Ideas:
List everything you know about your topic or story to create structure. Do some research if you are unsure about the topic to gain a deeper understanding.
Focus on the "Why":
Remember your motivation for why you started to write in the first place. Stay grounded even when writing becomes difficult.
