1. Find inspiration

Hi everyone!

First of all: happy new year!

By the way. Everything has a beginning. Anyone movie, series, book or sports competition. Every story starts somewhere. You already know how my adventure with writing began. Now I will tell you how to start each story.

Today I will tell you about step one.

Find inspiration!!!

It could really be anything. My first stories were about characters from my favorite fairy tales. Currently, it is quite a popular genre - fanfiction. A lot of people write different stories about their favourite characters. 

When I started creating my own heroes, I was inspired by trends such as werewolves and vampires. To this day, many books and films have inspired me.

For example, a year ago, when I was reading a book about angels, I was delighted with the presented world. However, I was disappointed with the main character and the course of events. Then I also decided to write my own story about angels. 

Managed to! (but about that another time)

However, an author will never be satisfied with his work. (but about that also another time)

My first story that started my "career" was inspired by me. In it, I described my world. Family, friends and all the problems. It helped me fight with depression. I opened myself to the world. I showed what I really felt.

Over the years, I realized this was a mistake. The book never saw the light of day. The world will only see this book when I change storyline. And that is a lot of work.

Now I'm working on two stories. they differ in every way.

One is about the war. I want to show history in a different way than before. I want to tell a story of two people in an unconventional way. The second story is about the modern world. The story is about my desires and a life I will never experience.

Every story starts somewhere. You never know how it will turn out. You can plan everything out, but it will change over time. I know what I'm saying. I have thousands of notes. Most are records of the various changes.

Writing is like taking a picture. You need to know what is most important. You have to be able to choose accessories and light. Over time, you can enjoy a beautiful picture after many hours of work. 

Writing is like painting with words. That's why I love it so much. Because you can create a world out of nothing.

Summarizing. 

Anything can be an inspiration. The most important thing is to be able to create something original out of it. You have to be careful not to create plagiarism. It is important that what inspired us was described in an interesting way. Anyone can write. You just have to want it because it's a long creative process.

See you soon my dreamers
