i have to admit, starting to write is one of the hardest parts of writing as a whole. the easiest way in my opinion is to just jot down scenes that you can come up with. it doesn't have to be in order, just write what you want to happen and slowly add more detail and storytelling to it. also, another way to help yourself form more interest in your writing project would be to flesh out the characters; making them like real people that could exist is crucial to the story. hope this helps!

It depends on the person you are. I am the type of person who sits down to write and the piece writes itself. This may not be the case for you or anyone else. As others have said, just, start writing. Write a sentence, then when you're done with that sentence write another sentence until you get a paragraph. 

It doesn't matter what you write, what part of the bigger story it is apart of, to start, all you have to do is take the leap of faith and actually begin writing, otherwise, you'll never write.
