Think writing is only for professionals? Think again. Here’s why you don’t need talent, experience, or approval to start writing your first story today.
Hey, it’s Reginaldo Osnildo, and I want to tell you something that no one said to me when I started:
You don’t need permission to be a writer.
You don’t need to go to school for it.You don’t need to get published.You don’t need to be “naturally talented.”And you definitely don’t need to wait for the “perfect” time.
All you need is a desire to tell stories—and the guts to write the first word.
Why You’ve Been Holding Back
Let’s be real. If you want to write, but haven’t started yet, it’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s probably because:
- You’re afraid you’re not good enough
- You don’t know where to start
- You think it’s “too late”
- You’ve convinced yourself that other people are more creative
But here’s the truth: those doubts are lies. Every writer feels them—even published ones.The difference is, some of us write anyway.
What Makes You a “Real Writer”
Not fame. Not followers. Not flawless grammar.
You’re a writer when you:
- Write something from your heart
- Put your imagination into words
- Show up for your creative self—even if just for 10 minutes
That’s it.
You Don’t Need a Big Idea—You Just Need a Small Start
The best stories don’t start with perfection. They start with:
- One scene
- One character
- One line of dialogue
- One memory you can’t shake
Start small. The story will grow.
3-Minute Creative Kickstart
Grab a notebook or open a doc and write one of these sentences:
- “He hadn’t heard that voice in years.”
- “There was something wrong with the key.”
- “The silence said more than either of them could.”
Write what comes next. Don’t overthink it.Congratulations—you’re writing.
