Re: Any advice for a newbie writer?

[kallanda_lee]

AS someone who studied writing: it really is not the same for everyone.

Some people do best writing chronologically.

Some people like making little post its with plots point the piece the together as a mosaic.

Some people like to have everything planned out before they write.

Some people like to have several important scenes in mind, write around those and let the characters take over.

My advice would be: find out what motivates you to write. (Is it that salient sex scene? Go for that. A full page description of a river? GO.

Try writing a "sort story" first. A one-shot that is not too daunting. Don't be scared to fail. our first fics will always seem silly in retrospect, because you grow as a person a a writer. And for the love of all that is holy, write something you love.

I think that a one-shot might be the best idea for me at the moment. I always get stuck how writing "should" be this elaborate thing and the fics "should" have 2543 chapters long, etc. I just need to get out of my comfort zone and do it.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Writing a one-shot is definitely easier than a chapter fic if you're just starting one.

If you do want to write a chapter fic, though, one thing I find works for me is to put the most fun part, the part that you most want to write at or close to the end. That motivates me to the plotting/development/build up that has to come before the payoff.

Yeah, that would give me a direction where to go. That's a great tip, thanks!
