So, I want to write, or at the very least I think I want to write.

But I'm not sure how to get started.

Just write, anon. A story, a scene, whatever -- just do it. And also, read. Be sure to do close reading. Start scrutinizing texts you encounter: what works? Why? What isn't working? What would you change? Then, look at your own work, and revise it. Gain confidence. Go places; take risks. Then, regret taking those risks, but stick with it anyway.

That's the gist of it. Write. Read. Criticize. Scrutinize. Learn.

Nigga that's your decision. Find something you're fascinated by, or something that stays in the back of your mind, and apply it to paper.

Write about whatever gets you hard, take that advice as literally as you want
