How to Start Writing for Beginners - Start Your Story

How to Start Writing for beginners - Start Your Story

If you've ever wanted to write a story but not known how, or worried that you couldn't or that you wouldn't be good at it, in this video I hope I can convince you to take the plunge and write.

Getting started is one of the most difficult parts of writing, and finding the energy to do it, beating self-doubt, procrastination or distraction is an uphill struggle. I want to help you up that hill!

If you're a beginner writer, or a writer that just can't seem to get going, I hope this video can help give you the push that you need to beat what's blocking you.

Every bit of effort and hard work you put into writing is worthwhile and you'll be glad you did it.

This is the Shia LaBeouf "JUST DO IT" video for writers 😂💕 Super motivating, even for those of us that _have_ started.

[ChimobiNkwor]

I've started multiple stories in my head but never put down a single one, i try and try but it's like the moment i start i immediately feel overwhelmed by fear of not being able to convey the world or scene as i imagine it...

I love this video! When I was in school I was praised by my English teachers for being so good at writing (I'm 34 now). My 11th grade teacher said he wanted to see me go to college for writing. I never did though because I was unsure about going, but I never forgot those words. I recently started learning art, and to help give myself some direction I decided to write out a backstory for my character. While jotting down a quick synopsis (and getting way more detailed than I meant to), I realized that somewhere along the way I had convinced myself that I didn't like writing. This of course was quite a shock to me, as it had always been my greatest skill. But since then it's been simmering in the back of my mind to write a novel. And this video has become the motivation I needed to actually take it up and JUST. START. WRITING. Thanks so much!

I think this message is so important. I know I don't write creatively, but even when I write reviews it's often overthinking that makes me procrastinate, when I need to just do it already 😂

[jawsjunk]

I really wish i had this back when i was younger i would probably be more of a writer then i am now

[justinmercier]

Im committed. Im starting to write today. Thank you so much, you just woke me up. I’ll look forward to coming back and update you.

[neomagano]

Thank you so much for this. I've always known that I need to tell my story but I'd procrastinate because I'm not a writer and English isn't my first language. I've judged myself a lot and overthinking definitely halted the need to begin. I really needed this today. This is my beginning 🌻

[tulpa]

I just started writing this story I've been wanting to write for years. This video really motivated me so thank you!

[delbo]

I’ve read books on writing and watched videos for too long. I was paralyzed. This has motivated me to just get going. Thank you.

[yeonville]

thank you for this video! I've been wanting to start writing for almost a year now but I just could not make one because I'm just so insecure with my writing. I didn't want to leave disappointments. Your message throughout the whole video really boosted my confidence and courage to really start writing one!

[Thnielsen]

This is just what i needed! Thank you!
I'm starting my story today! Now! I'll squeeze in an hour of writing before bed.. and maybe an hour tomorrow morning before work.. I'm gonna do this!

[SureshKumar-vgkl]

Hi Kieren, thanks for the push I needed badly, God knows how come I had not seen this video for so long, I am feeling motivated and wrote my first sentence as soon as I completed watching this.

[scribez]

The beginning has always been the hardest part for me. I used to write so much when I was in my twenties but that has slowed down so much now. I worry I've forgotten how to write, how to describe a scene and I'm so mad at myself for having so many ideas in my head and never getting them all down on paper. I am going to try to use your video as a way of challenging myself to actually get started. Even if I hate it, even if it kills me because it isn't perfect, I'm going for it. I will be back in a month or so and I'll let you know how it went...

[thom.s.wilson]

Hey man, thanks for this. Been writing every day for the past three weeks and I have 14, 000 words to show for it. Some days it just flows, others, I feel that my writing is shit. But I keep at it, and now I'm really optimistic about how my book is turning out. Been writing on and off since 2016 and never actually finish anything, but this time, I will.

[vargrleague]

I've built a world and had a story thats been on my mind for over 10 years, ever since I was in highschool, and still to this day i've never written it, I started and hated how badly I write and just never have done it

[Karsongrind]

Lets go am doing it today i am starting it today no matter how lame my first works turns out I'll still keep doing it anyways letss go!

[michelleballion]

Just wanted to say “thanks mate’b literally just needed telling how it is😁 stop faffing about & get on with it!!! Note to self! all the best michelle x

[mariat.valdez]

This is one of the best motivational videos I've seen. "Mistakes are opportunities", Best phrase ever! Thank you. I will start today!

[spencerhulcy]

Kieren, I just wanted to say you are the first writer that has advice that truly resonates and seems doable for me. I have spent years where daydreams I have play like full length movies in my mind, but I haven't been able to translate them to paper. In the past 2 weeks I have written almost 19 full pages. Albeit, they read like a poorly written fanfiction. 😅 Thanks for all you do on here!

[Voice.of.the.Fire.Ministries]

I am so grateful that you are making these videos, you are an inspiration for new, up and coming writers. I am committed to writing every day. I found this app called Forest Stay Focused for the iOS. I’m not sure if it’s for the android or not. It’s the best app to use to help you focus on writing or whatever your doing to improve your life. You plant trees, if you quit or leave the app to check Facebook or whatever, your tree dies and withers. It’s 1.99 in the App Store, well worth the cost. I did my first 25 minute sprint yesterday and got 325 words in my crime fiction
