You never know until you try! Even if it’s just notes or snippets, it can be therapeutic to get your ideas down on paper

REAL just start with a bulleted list of what you want to happen and then sometimes the words will just start flowing right outta you

I would write down an outline for it, and anything else you can think of (scene ideas, specific lines of dialogue, etc) and then whenever you have a little free time, come back and just think about it

You’ll get better as you write it! It’ll be cool to see your progression, but you can’t see progress if you don’t start

I do this with fics and story ideas I haven’t had time to write and it helps me not lose them and flesh out the worlds ahead of writing
