Advice?
I'm not a writer, but I've had this story in my head* with characters who've been nagging me for years. I slip into daydreams that feel like memories... I can picture scenes vividly, like I walked in that time and place myself.
How do I get this out? Should I just start writing? I feel like writing is an art, and my skills are crude and rudimentary at best.
I don't know how to start. Do I just write down each scene that comes to me? Piece it together later?
P.s. I'm an avid reader. I devour a handful of books every week.
P.p.s. I have a ton of tips now. I appreciate so many comments. I'm going to try a few of your strategies...see if it gets the juices flowing or conquers the fear of trying and failing at something. I'll keep this post to update if it turns into anything meaningful! Again, thank you all.
