So many people tell me, “I want to write, but I don’t know where to start.” I get it — it’s easy to overthink it, procrastinate, or wait for the perfect idea. But if there’s a story tugging at you, or even just a creative itch you can’t shake, this is for you.
In this Love, Brie video diary, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to start — whether it’s a book, a personal essay, or anything in between. It all begins with this:
Why do you want to write this?
Not what’s marketable. Not what you should write. But the thing that lights you up. That’s where your best work lives.
💌 In the full video, I walk you through:
How to pick the story that actually excites you
What an accountability partner really does for your writing
My favourite way to build a writing routine that sticks
Why your early drafts will suck — and why that’s OK
And more tools to help you just start
