Are you learning to write on your own?
I have been there . Yes I haven’t figured it out but it would have been faster if not for these mistakes I made.
Over the last five years while learning to write I have made these mistakes that slowed me down and almost discouraged me from ever trying to write.
Mistake 1 Postponing writing until you are good.
While learning to write . Watching videos.

Here are ten quotes from famous writers on why writers write:
1. “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” – Anaïs Nin

When you are stuck on what to write for short fiction, what you could do is use the cycle approach.
