Could be a painting, a story, a movie, woodworking, absolutely anything. Also why?

    A novel. First because I’m not sure on some key aspects of the plot, second because I’m not an amazing writer

      you wont get any better at writing by avoiding it. start writing out your current key plot points and see if your pen can guide you towards some others

      Also maybe check out the “snowball” outlining method. There’s no secret sauce, except whatever actually gets you writing

      What the other person said: practice in public. You’ll learn faster and actually get stuff done. It’ll feel like walking down Main Street with no clothes on, but you’ll actually make progress.

      I started a writing club on here specifically because I’m such trash at holding myself accountable to creative stuff. And it’s not like I’m Isaac Asimov now, but I’m definitely making more stuff than if I hadn’t tried.

      Anyway, I know it’s easier said than done, and actual execution can feel so uncomfortable, but I recommend it.
