Starting creative writing can feel daunting, but a few simple habits help you build confidence quickly.

These foundations will set you on the right path:

• Read like a writer: expose yourself to many styles so you can recognise what you want to emulate.
• Practise daily: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Use prompts and exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Rewrite your drafts: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.
