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.

@KierenWestwoodWriting 3 года назад

It really is, with the weird arm movements and everything 😂😂😂 Don’t let your dreams be dreams! 🤣

@thom.s.wilson Год назад

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.

@KierenWestwoodWriting Год назад

Thanks for watching! I get that too, definitely have times where it just won't happen, but the good times roll around again eventually. Writing takes a lot of sticking-to-it, even beyond the point where it still makes sense to do! Finishing stuff is important. I'd say prioritise finishing over all else. Having to fix a finished and imperfect story is a different feeling altogether that getting stuck halfway with loads of different ones. You've got it! 😀

How’d it go? I hope it went well

@xavier_sb2952 Год назад

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!

@KierenWestwoodWriting Год назад

That's fantastic! Thanks so much for letting me know that, comments like this are the reason I make these videos. I had a similar story to you (I'm also 34!) and I'd dabbled in writing when I was younger, but dismissed it for a while, thinking I should be more practical. I wish I'd leaned into it when Iwas younger BUT - I still can, I still do, every day. I love that this gave you the motivation to get started, I wish you the absolute best of luck 😀

@shawnetproductions Год назад

@waterdragon55 Год назад

I know it's weird to ask but is their a way to just start or like a backstory characters can u do whatever u want I guess school has made me not think but just do kind of mentality am in college now for maybe several years. Was unsure how to do it.

@MiaowMcDonald 4 месяца назад

and did you do it? i hope so… it’s never too late to start 😊

@gabri3lsnow Год назад

I started right before watching this video, and yes, I stopped to look for some advice. The advice. Don't stop to look for advice. Keep writing. It's my first time writing. I decided to go for a one shot. It's a small scene of a conversation of two characters that are in the middle of a party, a little romance, a little drama, a little sensuality. I felt that if I ever was going to be able to express through writing I had to go for the expression of the complicated human heart at first. Now I have to find a forum or a community where to share it and have some feed back, so if anyone's down ^^

@hayleywestwood3432 3 года назад

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 😂

@KierenWestwoodWriting 3 года назад

I think this is the case with anything creative really ☺ There are a lot of potential barriers and it often seems inaccessible until you've made a point to put all of them aside and beat them.

@neomagano2249 2 года назад

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 🌻

@yeonville4858 2 года назад

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!

@KierenWestwoodWriting 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! I can understand feeling like that, I feel very insecure about my own writing most of the time. One thing that helps, is that by producing something, anything, I'll be adding to my skills and experience in writing, so I've got that much less to be insecure about :) It doesn't always work, but sometimes it helps.

@xavier_sb2952 Год назад

Would like to make a couple of notes that I've heard, and hopefully it inspires others to get started with their own writing (I take no credit for these): 1) Similar to what was stated at 0:10 , a digital artist once said, "The reasons of why I want to draw are more powerful than the reasons of why I don't." Just replace the word "draw" with "write." 2) This one probably stuck with me the most: "Basically I tell myself, 'If I don't tell this story, then it'll never be told.' Which is very true - no one will tell your story like you do. Your characters won't act or think the same way if someone else writes the story."

@deellaboe437 7 месяцев назад

Amazing Motivational Video!!! I'm teaching myself through amazing people like you who offer free writing advice. I think like most of us the issue is where and how to start. For Me, I list my characters and then list what I want in the story. Then write a summary no matter how horrible it is. I feel it's a starting point. Just Write The Book!!!! Everyone has a story to tell is my theory.

@KierenWestwoodWriting 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! Where and how to start is definitely a massive barrier. That sounds like a good system to me, there always has to be a first step, the rest comes from there, sometimes like an avalanche, sometimes like a trail of breadcrumbs, but it comes eventually!

@tattoodude8946 Месяц назад

The thing that got me writing after years of "one day" and "when I have the time" was the George RR Martin and Stephen King conversation where Martin asked how King writes so many books. King replies that he writes six pages a day. That's it. Simple. I thought about it and said - well, I don't think I have time to write six pages, but I could write two or three. Heck, one page a day is 365 pages a year - that's a book right there! After that, I started writing and it has ebbed and flowed and is not steady, but I have written three novels now (which I'm still working on trying to hone) and I am so glad I started writing again. King has since been an inspiration for me on many levels. I don't always agree with what he says or the advice he gives, but I can relate to a lot of what he says and will always be grateful that I stumbled on that discussion he and Martin had.

@KierenWestwoodWriting Месяц назад

I saw that chat too, they were on stage at a convention I think? If it's the same one? You might have already seen it, but I just released another Stephen King video this week that might be of interest. Your approach really speaks to me, that's how I am too. Yeah it's a lot of work, but you can get there by doing what you can manage, when you can manage it.

@tattoodude8946 Месяц назад

@@KierenWestwoodWriting I think that King video was the first one of your videos I saw. I've had a rough go of writing the last few months and had a bad editor experience - my first editor experience no less. So, I was looking for some inspiration and motivation when I stumbled on your videos. I'm really enjoying your stuff and I have subscribed - looking forward to your future videos and hopefully I will be publishing someday soon. I am in the process of hiring a new editor right now. Fingers crossed it goes better this time!!! You and Brandon McNulty are now my go-to guys for advice and motivation. Thank you for what you do - it is important. Who knows - maybe I'll put a channel up in the next couple years - but the books come first!

Thanks for the important reminder! This applies so well to my uni dissertation, which in the end of the day is exactly the same as any other story. So much prep has happened to reach this stage, and it's like there are a million hands pulling me away from the edge of the diving board - "you haven't sorted your argument coherently", "you need to read through the data more", "make sure you don't go down the wrong track". So today I will jump in and see what happens, and then go from there. I'll come back in a few days. Good luck with your writing everyone!

Thank you lots for making this video and putting it out there. ive always been interested in writing and used to write short stories and poems as a tween. but i never developed my writing or took it too seriously. I'd always either put it off for later or just be too chicken to begin. Even juswriting comments under videos i enjoy has been something i wasnt able to do. i'd type out a paragraph and then just slam the backspace button, because i was sure that my words hold no value and don't add anything to the conversation. i'm slowly learning to change that, and this comment is a small contribution towards that effort. i wish the best of luck to everyone in this comments section with their writing endeavours.

@KierenWestwoodWriting 9 месяцев назад

You know, I do the exact same thing with RU-vid comments. I can’t seem to leave one without backspacing it. Your words do hold value though, and you should absolutely tell the stories you feel like telling! It’s difficult to push through that mental boundary, but if you can do it, it’s so worth it. Go for it!

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

Great video! I loved the "putting on the armor" analogy; I helped me realize that this fear of judgment about what I write and of being terrible at something to begin with is really no different than all the other times I did stuff that scared the absolute crap out of me, but I did it anyway, because courage, as they say, is not feeling no fear about the thing, it's doing the thing in spite of it.

@KierenWestwoodWriting 4 месяца назад

I couldn't agree more! Absolutely the right way to look at it I think. The fear is a temporary state of discomfort and that's a worthwhile investment I think :)
