Your Writing Journey Begins!

Because of a slight illness I was unable to write on my blog as I wanted to.  But I'm back, and my aim is the foster other writer's dreams.  Foster those who have a dream to write, but don't know where to start.  My blog is geared to this.  Here you will find answers to your questions about how to write, and do it well.  First, How to even get started on writing that book, and get it out of your head & down on paper.   So, lets begin!
#1  Simply start.  Do some writing exercises to get your juices flowing.  Is there a story, or idea in your head?  Well. Start writing it down.  In the beginning don't worry about how it looks or sounds, just write, all the spelling and grammar will come later.  First, you must write to see how it feels to write.  Enjoy it.  Just write.  If you don't have ideas in your head, look on the web for writing exercises.  Short prompts  that will trigger stories in your head.  If you are looking for writing prompts, check out  Writers Digest.com   You can also write about your own feeling, thoughts, or even your future characters that you want in your story.  Set a timer, and write for that amount of time.  This will get you accustomed to sitting down and writing on a regular schedule.   Don't pressure yourself thinking that, your writing must be perfect like the novel you read.  Let me tell you that these writers have been doing it a long time, and at the beginning they were unsure just like YOU!  Practice, practice, practice.  Like the saying goes.  Practice makes perfect, or almost perfect.  No one is perfect, not even the best writers.  That's why they are editors, and people who proof read their works.  Your writing journey will never end.  You will always have questions, and doubts about your writing abilities.  But keep the faith in yourself.  It's a journey, never a destination.  You will always be learning on this journey, and develop better writing skills as you go.  So sit down, and get started.  Your journey has just begun!

In my next blog we will discuss what type of writer you want to be.  What genre fuels your passion.
Fiction, Non-Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, or Mysteries.  There are so many to choose from.  But what's your choice.  You must make an early choice to begin!
