Simplified Meaning:
When you're new to writing, it's better to begin with short pieces instead of diving straight into writing a big novel. Starting small means you can practice and get better without feeling overwhelmed. Imagine wanting to run a marathon. You wouldn’t run 26 miles on your first day. Instead, you’d start with short runs, get the hang of it, and gradually build up your stamina. In the same way, writing shorter stories or articles helps you learn the craft and gain confidence over time. It also allows you to complete projects faster, which boosts your motivation and helps you receive feedback quickly to improve your skills. By taking these smaller steps, you'll be better prepared when you eventually decide to tackle a novel.
