In this brief interview segment, a writing instructor (Speaker B) offers practical encouragement for novice writers who feel intimidated by the prospect of starting. The core advice is a pre‑writing warm‑up: take two sheets of paper and create an endless list of things you love—such as robot dogs, spaceship popcorn machines, or the color blue—anything that makes your heart glow. This exercise is presented as a way to spark ideas, reduce fear, and get the creative juices flowing before tackling actual writing. The tone is supportive and conversational, aiming to lower barriers for beginners and invite them to "just get stuck in and have a go."

Would you have any advice for a writer who was maybe thinking, oh, that sounds a little scary, a little difficult? Just any wisdom for somebody looking to just get stuck in and have a go?
Absolutely. So take 2 sheets of paper. And this is something you do long before you ever want to write. Write down all the stuff that you love. Robot dogs, spaceship popcorn machines, the, the color blue. You just, you make an infinite list. You just let that stream of thought go through.
That's where your mind goes.
And fill a piece of paper with all the things that just make your heart glow.
Okay.
And then that's the first sheet of paper, and you want to write as much as you possibly can.
