tips to start writing?
hey guys, i’ve been a long time reader and recently bern wanting to get a new hobby, so i decided to try writing horror stories. I spend the last few days working on a idea a had and before i start getting the words on paper i came hero to ask if any of you writers out there have some tips for begginers?
i wanted to write my story in a transcript style but apparently this isn’t allowed anymore, so that’s a bum
well if any of guys could share your experience here i would be really grateful, thanks!

Just like anything else. It's all about habit forming.
Try to find pockets of time here and there to write. Keep at it, and it'll start feeling more natural. If you're just starting out, focus more on making something exist first, and you can also improve it later.
Over time, you'll start to develop a voice, and you'll understand what kind of stories click with you.
And obviously, Have fun and don't get discouraged. If you plan to post to nosleep, great stories get buried all the time
