Step-by-Step Roadmap For Beginner Writers🚶♀️
1} Choose your tools carefully, but not so carefully that you spend more time at the stationery store than at your writing table. I used to buy fancy notebooks and pens but never really used them because I was afraid of messing them up with my writing. Even though I promised myself I'd save them for later, that later never really came. 👉Buy a cheap spiral notebook and a fountain/ball pen (good grip).🖋 👉On a laptop, use a simple note-making app. (avoid using any editing tools simultaneously like Grammarly)💻 2} Time your writing ⌚ 👉Set up a timer for 20 min or 30 min as per your preference. 👉Timing your writing adds pressure and helps to heat things up. 👉Make sure nobody disturbs you during that time. 3} Jot down your first thoughts without judgment. Sit down with the least expectation of yourself; say, “I am free to write the worst junk in the world.” You have to give yourself the space to write a lot without a destination. - Keep your hand moving. (Don’t pause to reread the line) - Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, or grammar. - Don’t think. Don’t get logical. - If something comes up in your writing that is scary or naked, dive right into it. It probably has lots of energy. - If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you. 4} What to write about? 👉Whatever’s in front of you is a good beginning. 👉Try to be present, unafraid, and open, and the situation will give you the subject. Until then, I have shared some prompts to begin your journey in the post below. https://www.skool.com/the-ambitious-girls-club-7071/writing-prompts 5} BONUS TIPS: - Don’t “make” your mind do anything. Simply step out of the way and record your thoughts as they roll through you. - Let go of everything when you write, and try at a simple beginning with simple words to express what you have inside. It won’t begin smoothly.
