HLFOX10 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If I was you, I'd just start writing! The hardest part is staring at a blank page. Once you get going, it get's easier. Don't worry about it being perfect - you can always edit it later. It's a lovely feeling editing your work into something good! Maybe write a loose (one page) plan of how you'd like it to go, beginning, middle and end, and take it from there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handypandy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have no experience of this, but if it was me, I would begin by making a list of your 'events' in brief, in some kind of chronological order. Then start with number one in the list, writing a more detailed version of it... and so on. I think a good way to start expanding on your story, would be to voice record it, imagining that you are talking to a friend. You can then edit and 'audio type' it up later. .
