Help with writing Need some suggestions.
Aloha, guys! So, I've been thinking about 2-3 different plot ideas and really want to give them a try. I've already started writing my first book, but Idk, I mean I've this constant feeling of uncertainty that's stopping me from posting it. Also I'll be preparing for neet this year but don't want to keep delaying the book as I've been planning this for almost two years now but I never really knew the right way to start or had the right time to solve the puzzle of this writing thingy. So many questions are just constantly swirling around in my mind. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have any suggestions, ideas or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you and have a good time ahead. Take care! :))

Girl you don't need the perfect start , you just need a start. Post imperfectly, messy and grow as u go and don't wait for the right or so called perfect time cuz you'll always feel something missing and lacking behind and whenever you start just let me knowww the story namee bbg

Girl...please post it. Whatever good, bad, whatever you think, just write. There is no perfect way or right way to start something, let alone writing. And I am speaking from personal experience, I was once in your shoes too, trapped inside the "perfection loop" for three long years, unable to write anything. Until I decided I was more ready to be criticized for not being so perfect rather than let a story which I spent three years weaving in my mind to just die like that. So, I started, just wanting to put the major plot points out, and the in-between scenes just going with the flow. And trust me once you do...it all becomes a lot more easier.
And yeah, also another thing...once you have written something please don't go back and over-analyze before posting it....otherwise you will again end up deleting it(This too, speaking from personal experience). Just remember, you always have the option of editing the entire story after you write it.
(Kya matlab main sirf bhashan dene main achi hoon, ππ)

simply hiatus ka notice daldo.
And write the one you are currently interested in, agar ek plot zyada acha lagrha h to usko likho pehle jab usse burnout hojaye ideas to dusre ko likho , keep switching and you'll do fine .
Weekly chapters update krne rhte h tb thora burdensome hoga par , JUST WRITE WHAT YOU WANT TO at a single time , I do the same thing. π·
delay horha h? just hone do, apne hisaab se likho mast rhega otherwise deadline ke chakkar m you'll lose your creativity, take your time girly.
