Where do I start and what should I write about?

Where a writer begins to write is difficult to pin down. I think it's a process that begins probably when you're fairly young with reading and being interested in the miracle of literature. And how literature starts with nothing and that's sort of what you do as a writer, you start wth a blank page, you start with absolutely nothing. And then, after a process, you create a lot of characters in a given situation. So, it is probably a powerful feeling that you might have about an event that you've experienced or seen or observed and if it sticks with you day after day, month after month there's a suggestion that it is worth attending to as a writer.
