Q: I have several books that I would like to bring to life in my head. I just do not know how to get started. I would like to get the process started as soon as possible!
A: One of the most common pieces of writing advice out there is to just write. La Consejería’s advice is to set aside 30 minutes a day to do just that. as many say, the only thing a first draft has to do is exist. Creating space for yourself to devote to your craft is very important. Whether it’s taking on a writing prompt, trying your hand at freeform writing, or gradually developing a longform story, you’ll be able to get those creative juices flowing and begin to make a habit of writing.
When you feel ready, tackle one of your many ideas! Pick one and let inspiration strike, but try to stick to your goal and keep working on your project. Remember all it has to do in the beginning is exist!
