Writing Question
Writers, what's the hardest part of writing for you? β’ Starting a story? β’ Plotting? β’ Dialogue? β’ Ending a book? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I think one of the most revealing questions you can ask a writer is:
"What part of your story came first?"
Not the title.
Not the genre.
Not even the plot.
The very first thing.
Was it a character?
A scene?
A line of dialogue?
A setting?
A random "what if" question?
It's always fascinating to me because two people can end up writing completely different books from ideas that started in almost the same way.
Writers, what was the very first piece of your current project to exist?
Red hot cherries
On a blazing fire
On a roof
Two men stand
They are wild
Young
Scared
One of them has everything but a gun
He cannot even wield it
He is too weak
A girl with a big heart
She waited
But nothing happened
So we left it.
~
The temptress
Ruins
The male mind
He knows he has statues
But nothing to wield them
He needs a counterpart
It will fall apart with her.

Before publishing, ask yourself:
Does the story make sense to someone reading it for the first time?
That's where beta readers help.
βThe only end of writing is to enable readers better to enjoy life or better to endue itβ (Samuel Johnson)
A gentle reminder for every writer:
Your first draft isn't supposed to be perfect.
It's supposed to exist.
Every published book started as a messy draft that needed fresh eyes, honest feedback, and a lot of revision.
Keep writing. Your story deserves the chance to be finished.
