Getting Started: Writing a Paper
First off, getting started is not easy. So just calm down. there is no set and stone, brilliant way to start writing. of course you must write but before that you must RELAX.
Idea(maybe) Free Write Read Re-write
Your next step is to generate ideas. No topic is right or wrong. Use past experience, things you like or even dislike to help you with this. The most helpful way to choose your topic is choosing something that you CARE about. Down the road this will make it easier to add details and make the story interesting.
On the other hand, if you are given a topic, then of course you can not change that.You must find someway to connect to whatever the topic maybe. This type of writing can be hard or simple, depending on the person. When the topic has been given this narrows your options. So you must make your ideas fit with the subject at hand.
Well what if you are not the planning type person? After you have an idea then it is time to jump straight into the paper.
Make a plan. Your plan does not have to be detailed but planning is what helps you move your storu along.
