Misty Danielles @mistydanielles.bsky.social · 16/12/2024It always help to have an outline. That’s a good starting place to help get the mind turning. And to have playlist blasting to get into the mood & focus. If really stuck, it doesn’t hurt to try writing prompts. Sometimes rewriting the opening until it gets the story flowing. 000

If you've only written a handful of words today, that's still a handful of words more than yesterday. But the main point is, write *something* every day. You gotta keep moving forward; otherwise, it'll be harder to get started. #StartingOffWrite 0143
Reposted by Misty DaniellesLilly Lockwood 🔥SoBB is out NOW!🔔 @voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social · 16/11/2024#StartingOffWrite My advice is simple, just write. Don’t worry about getting every detail right the first time, there will be time to edit it later. And have fun with it! Writing can be such an amazingly enjoyable process, but it can also be frustrating sometimes so try not to get too bogged down. 1122
