Picking a format
Hello everyone, I’m a new writer (well, new in the sense that I’m finally putting pen to paper after years of procrastinating). Now I’ve been all over Reddit and the rabbit hole of the internet researching tips and tricks to finally begin and I can happily say I’m making steps towards a lifelong passion. Just write. That’s the main takeaway. However, my perfectionist brain is constantly getting in the way. I’ve even started second guessing if this is really for me. Long story short, I’m wondering how you guys determine what format is best for you? I always thought a novel was the way to go for me, but honestly I spend more time reading comics and watching movies than any other media outlet. So I thought maybe that? But scripts never really appealed to me. I’m currently tossing around the idea of a bunch of random short stories to just get my feet wet and then maybe a novel in the future? I know I’m rambling but like I said before my overthinking can sometimes be a curse. Any advice at the start of this journey from like minded individuals will hopefully go a long way. Thanks!
