Don't start at the beginning? A story is usually a beginning, middle, and end, and not necessarily in that order. You can just start writing literally wherever along any kind of timeline. "Jus write" just means to do something. Use your stupid fucking ape brain and mannish tranny ape fingers and slap some Shakespeare on a typewriter you fucking bonobo.

3 realizations that should help you start
1) You can start anywhere. No need to think of the perfect opener or anything like that as your first move. That kind of thing can just bog you down.
2) Style can come later. If you really like the idea and you want it down you can just put it down in plain terms and turn on the style during revision.
3) You don't have to judge your plot harshly when getting it down initially. Plot holes can be ironed out once you flesh out the idea, and the best way to flesh out the idea is to write it.
Bonus) You don't have to hold on to the thing if it doesn't feel like it is working while you write it, but you have to start writing it before you can know it doesn't work. So go for it!

I make a tough outline and then just start writing the interesting scenes relating to those points on the outline. Even if it's out of order.
Then I write transition parts so it fits together as a narrative.
I read over the whole thing, then I basically rewrite most of it in order, mostly by memory as a coherent narrative rather than the initial collection of scenes.
After that it's just the matter of polish, line editing and proofreading.
Though I should point out I never wrote a book. I use this method for short stories and scripts.
It would likely turn into quite the mess if you used my method for a full book unless your organization was super on point.

I think I misunderstood the assignment.

>> No.21926633

I struggle with writing out of order too, so I just force myself to go in order. Part of the fun is having characters that are strong enough to write the story for you. I know the major plot points, but the in between and how they get there, I leave up to chance. And if I skip around, then I feel I am constraining what comes before it. Doesn't feel natural to me. So if I'm in a rut, I usually just do the shitty thing to do and rewrite the paragraphs above me and then that usually gets me in the flow of things.

Writing is two steps back, one step forward a lot of the time.
