Starting

To start a story, you simply have to write. Even though it sounds simple enough, one of the many things that can get in the way is overthinking it or over planning. With each day we push writing aside from our schedule, the idea starts to lose momentum. We can tell ourselves we’ll write when we feel ready to, or when we’re in the mood. But all that does is delay it from happening. If we do that for long enough, we’ll start to lose interest, and it will end up being a forgotten idea.

We can talk about starting from morning to evening, but until we start, it simply remain an idea, like a world of what ifs and what’s next and maybes that are waiting to see the light of day.
