So i have dylexia and autism so im not sure, when i was little i was told i was a creative writter, people could have said that just becasue though. how do you even start writting and what makes an idea worth writting, where do i even begin? i hope to make a book one day or somethign like that maybe even a screenplay or somethign but idk, also feel free to add something if you wish too becasue im kind alost when it comes to life and hobbys. fanfic seems interesting but also cringe so im not too sure as i said also what is the point of writting fanfic.

also sorry if im aksing too many questions about hobbys and such.

To get better, two things: read more, and write more. The more you read, the more you’ll absorb of how others write and the more ideas you’ll get. The more you write, the more practice you get.

“Just write, finish things, and then start writing the next thing…Just write. Assume that you have one million words inside of you and they’re all rubbish. You need to get them all out.” - Neil Gaiman
