WRITING FICTION
I want to be writer but why would I want to be writer? I’m 27 years old and if I am not a writer by now, I wonder when I will get there.
How do writers start writing? I heard you start writing by actually writing. Does that sound strange? Well, I thought so too until I realized that to become a writer, you just have to pick up a pen, place it on a paper, and start writing. They say you might not make sense of what you are writing at first. Just keep at it, you will become a renown writer before you know it.
Do not be shy.
Use big words.
Make mistakes.
Misspell some words.
Do not throw away your written garbage just yet, read them again and again. There is sense in it.
Write and re-write.
Fictions have some connections with real life. Fictions are triggered by real events. In writing fiction, you blow out of proportion, events which you either witnessed or heard. You know the story is not true but you write it anyway.
If your fiction is not making sense, just keep writing, soon it will begin to make sense.
Never throw away any part of your written fiction until you are done writing and editing.
Remember, your story can never be too unreal, because it is “fiction.”
Your age has little or nothing to do with anything, just write, your words on paper matters not your age.
When you star a story, try to finish it.
If it does not want to end, give it an end.
It is your work, it is your creation, don’t let it rule you.
Rule your work.
Do not give it too much time or too little either.
Just keep at it, before long you will become a pro in writing.
