Unironically, list events in a greentext format and then adapt them to prose

I swear the greentext method had helped me actually start my novel.

It doesnt really matter where to start as long as you start on something, it can be the characters or the world or something else entirely.
Eventually you get tired of writing the framework and get started on the story itself but all that brainstorming you did on the framework will help you along the way.

The only way to learn to do anything is to learn from those before that you admire, asking for help from kids who read a lot won't help you.

Also you must be 18 to post on this site
