So i have dylexia and autism so im not sure, when i was little i was told i was a creative writter, people could have said that just becasue though. how do you even start writting and what makes an idea worth writting, where do i even begin? i hope to make a book one day or somethign like that maybe even a screenplay or somethign but idk, also feel free to add something if you wish too becasue im kind alost when it comes to life and hobbys. fanfic seems interesting but also cringe so im not too sure as i said also what is the point of writting fanfic.

also sorry if im aksing too many questions about hobbys and such.

There are things like grammarly to help you with your grammar (and a tiny bit of style)

Many writers and copy editors have YouTube channels and tiktoks with tips and tricks. For example, you can look for how to show instead of tell on YouTube and you'll see a few.

Brandon Sanderson has a whole bunch of them on wold creation

If you decide to 'train' with fan fiction, you can give wattpad a try to publish your stories and see how people like them
