Hey šŸ¤˜ I hope you have a nice day. I've been thinking about writing my own fics since I got so many ideas. But the problem is that I have never written before and now Idk how to start. Do you have any advice? How can you put your ideas into words? Thank you for reading this. Luv u šŸ’–

I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE DAY AS WELL!!! as for advice i might not be the best to ask bc my journey with writing wasā€¦ interesting? iā€™ll leave story time for later if youā€™re interested!

starting is hard but honestly the best advice is to just start. you can always begin with very lowkey twitter threads you know? sometimes i just go ā€œhey imagineā€¦ā€ and let my ideas flow and yeah sure its A SUPER ROUGH DRAFT by the time you are done but at least you have something to work off with? some of the sentences you wrote in your stream of consciousness are probably amazing and usable!!! for example ( fun fact ) my first pwp i ever wrote was actually a twitter thread on my priv bc as i added to the thread i could shut up my brain who usually fixates on every sentence structure or word choice. didnā€™t care about any of that and kept typing AND THEN TRANSFERRED EVERYTHING TWEET BY TWEET TO FUCKING AO3. it was really fun but yeah no right or wrong way to start.

sometimes it helps having someone to talk to? or write with? like i started with roleplaying before transitioning to fic writing. I HOPE THIS HELPS????
