Start Writing Today: You Don’t Need Permission to Be a Writer
Think writing is only for professionals? Think again. Here’s why you don’t need talent, experience, or approval to start writing your first story today.
Hey, it’s
Reginaldo Osnildo, and I want to tell you something that no one said to me when
I started:
You
don’t need permission to be a writer.
You don’t
need to go to school for it.
You don’t need to get published.
You don’t need to be “naturally talented.”
And you definitely don’t need to wait for the “perfect” time.
All you
need is a desire to tell stories—and the guts to write the first word.
Why
You’ve Been Holding Back
Let’s be
real. If you want to write, but haven’t started yet, it’s not because you’re
lazy.
It’s probably because:
- You’re afraid you’re not good
enough
- You don’t know where to start
- You think it’s “too late”
- You’ve convinced yourself that
other people are more creative
But here’s
the truth: those doubts are lies. Every writer feels them—even published
ones.
The difference is, some of us write anyway.
What
Makes You a “Real Writer”
Not fame.
Not followers. Not flawless grammar.
You’re a
writer when you:
- Write
something from your heart
- Put
your imagination into words
- Show up for your creative
self—even if just for 10 minutes
That’s it.
You
Don’t Need a Big Idea—You Just Need a Small Start
The best
stories don’t start with perfection. They start with:
- One
scene
- One
character
- One
line of dialogue
- One
memory you can’t shake
Start
small. The story will grow.
3-Minute
Creative Kickstart
Grab a
notebook or open a doc and write one of these sentences:
- “He hadn’t heard that voice in
years.”
- “There was something wrong with
the key.”
- “The silence said more than
either of them could.”
Write what
comes next. Don’t overthink it.
Congratulations—you’re writing.

Not Sure Where to Begin?
