@ngbabe Hi Ng! I only just saw your message. Thank you so much for reaching out. Honestly, I feel like I’m still learning as I go, and I think most writers (no matter their success) would probably say the same. A few things that help me:
- Have faith in your writing. Easier said than done sometimes, but if you believe in the story, you’ll keep going—even if, at first, it’s just for your own joy and growth.
- Practice + editing. First drafts are rarely perfect, and that’s okay. Sometimes the most important thing is simply getting the words out. Sensory information is always a bonus though.
- Consistency looks different for everyone. For me, I don’t post on Wattpad until I’ve finished a story, and scheduling the whole book feels rewarding. But if you’re aiming to write every day, the best trick I’ve found is to set a small goal, even one sentence, because often the hardest part is just starting.
You’re already asking the right questions, and that’s such a strong place to begin. In the end, I think the most important thing is to write for yourself. You never know whose life your words might touch, or how your story might matter to someone down the road.
