hello!! i've been reading fanfics since 2011 and i know i can /write/ but i don't know how or where to start when writing fanfiction... can i get some tips pls? i really want to add to the bmjn ao3 tag >///< big fan of your work btw

omg this reply is long overdue ;; first of all thank you for liking my work!! as to where to start, start small! don't force yourself to churn out a masterpiece in one go. you don't even have to finish a whole story to begin with. you can always begin with a simple scene, a bit of dialogue, an exchange, just to get you started. pretty soon, you will be able to make baby steps towards realizing the stories in your head and it will eventually get easier. we've all been there, and you're never alone in this jounrey <3 if you ever feel comfortable reaching out via dm, i'd be happy to discuss with you in greater detail! good luck!! i'm rooting for you <3
