Hi all, it's my first time post and I have a question.I have many ideas of science fiction and fantasy stories,I also can create one from anything i encounter or see. Anyone with an opinion to tell me how to get started in this writing journey or my first approach to start writing as a new aspiring writer,thank you.

Just get a laptop and start typing your ideas. You can go back any time and change what you have written. Create a list of charactors, a list of ideas that you dont want to forget. Write a brief description of what the story is going to be about. When I first started writing I had a list of 20 titles, originally for childrens short storys. Once I completed those, I started writing childrens fiction, but then i found every so often I'd be writing and my words would start rhyming. Then I'd write a poem. When I looked back I had about 50 poems at the time. When you get an idea, if your laptop isn't near you, then get a pen and paper and write it down.
