KAR asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

How do I write a story? Just how? I keep losing my patience and feel like I just can't do ANYTHING I have the characters and the settings ready but I just can't write it. I want to, but it's too stressful so I keep giving up! Please help I look up to you and your writing so much and I need help. Thank you

Jennifer A. Nielsen Hi KAR. First of all, take pressure off yourself. If the overall process is too stressful, try just writing a single character description, or a single scene with that character. It can be stressful to try to tackle every part of a story all at once. Just start with doing one small chunk of writing. You've got this!
