What does it take to be a writer? ✨⭐

I don't want to if you want to be a writer. 💻

📜 many people think that being a writer is very difficult, requires creativity, imagination, creativity.

❌ not entirely true! ❌

The truth is, what everyone should have is courage.

- Dare to act. -

- Dare to think differently. -

- Dare to trial and error. -

Dare to try something that others consider difficult. That's the only quality that, whatever it takes, should have. It's not just about wanting to be a writer, it's about everything everyone wants to be.

And the next thing that everyone values is expectations. Many people see other people succeed as writers, many people read novels, have a tight fan base, read millions and millions of stories, the more everyone expects.

We want to tell everyone that not everyone can do it. Do not set the expectations of starting to do something high because it will put stress on yourself and it will do that badly. Speaking because we are one of those people already. 🥹

So we can't expect it at all?

No, we can expect it, but it's better to go from small to small.

⭐ will open the first novel today!

⭐ Today will compose a 2000-word novel!

⭐ This month must finish writing this novel!

Let's just focus, even if it's just a small thing, let's just get it done. Still, we're better than we were yesterday!

When we start to do it, however, what we said above in that picture, some things don't need to be there. No need to have a lot of knowledge. No need to type well. No need to be fanciful. No need to be good at anything. Just have the intention to actually do it and do it. For example, someday it will stick to us without even knowing it.

💻⭐ So now let's start opening the first novel?:)

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงในการเริ่มต้นเป็นนักเขียนนิยายมือใหม่ สิ่งแรกที่ทำให้ตัวเองรู้สึกหนักใจคือ ความกังวลว่าจะเขียนออกมาได้ดีหรือเปล่า และรู้สึกกดดันจากความคาดหวังสูงๆ ทั้งจากตัวเองและคนรอบข้าง แต่เมื่อได้ลองปรับเปลี่ยนวิธีคิดโดยเน้นไปที่การลงมือทำจริง ๆ โดยไม่ยึดติดกับความสมบูรณ์แบบตั้งแต่ต้น สิ่งเหล่านี้ช่วยให้เขียนเรื่องราวได้ต่อเนื่องและสนุกมากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ สิ่งที่สำคัญมากอีกอย่างคือต้องเปิดใจยอมรับการลองผิดลองถูก เพราะคำว่าผิดพลาดหรือไม่ดีไม่ใช่จุดสิ้นสุด แต่มันคือโอกาสให้เราเรียนรู้และพัฒนาตัวเองขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ค่อย ๆ เริ่มตั้งเป้าหมายเล็ก ๆ เช่น นัดเขียนนิยายวันละ 500 คำ หรือจบเรื่องราวสั้น ๆ ก่อนจะขยับไปเรื่องที่ยาวขึ้น ซึ่งเมื่อทำได้สำเร็จ เราจะเห็นพัฒนาการและความมั่นใจในตัวเองมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย สำหรับใครที่ยังคงคิดว่าต้องมีความรู้หรือพรสวรรค์พิเศษ มโนเพ้อฝันเก่ง หรือจินตนาการล้นหลามก่อนเป็นนักเขียน ลองเปลี่ยนมุมมองดูว่า สิ่งเหล่านี้สามารถเรียนรู้และฝึกฝนเพิ่มได้เมื่อเราลงมือทำจริง ความตั้งใจและความกล้าลงมือทำคือสิ่งสำคัญที่สุดที่จะพาเราไปถึงเป้าหมายได้จริง อย่าลืมว่าการอ่านผลงานของนักเขียนคนอื่นและขอคำแนะนำก็เป็นวิธีที่ดีที่จะช่วยให้เราเติบโตได้เร็วขึ้นด้วย สุดท้าย อย่าต้องกลัวที่จะเปิดนิยายเรื่องแรก แม้จะยังไม่สมบูรณ์แบบก็ตาม เพราะทุกคนต้องเริ่มต้นจากก้าวแรกเสมอ การลงมือทำวันนี้คือจุดเริ่มต้นของความสำเร็จในวันข้างหน้าแน่นอน!
