Hi there,
As a freelance writer myself, this question often gets asked a lot from aspiring writers. It can often be difficult to know where to start with writing and how to accomplish your goals.
Every writer experiences challenges, however here are some helpful tips to aid you with your writing and increase the amount you write to accomplish your work.
How do I write?The best ways to start writing is put pen to paper and jot down your ideas.
You can start by brainstorming characters, settings, plots and names that you want for your story.
Think about what it is that you want to write: Is it a novel, novella, short story or poem? Whatever the form of writing you wish to accomplish you need to familiarise yourself with the format of this type of text.
For example, if you are writing a poem you may want to include stanza's or rhyme however in a story you would be writing very differently.
You may also find it helpful to think about narrative. Will you be talking in first person or third person? I hope these questions will enable you to start putting pen to paper and start writing.
How do you write a lot?
If you want to increase the amount of writing that you are currently doing then you need to dedicate time to write every day.
This may sound simple, but it's not always straightforward...
15 minutes of writing a day can add up to a significant amount of writing a week. If you utilise good time management skills and stay disciplined and focused on your writing then you will be able to write much more then you initially thought you could.
Writing on a topic that you enjoy or are passionate about can help you spur enthusiasm to write and this can help you to finish off your project in no time!
I hope this helps to answer your question! Good luck with your writing :)
