5 ways to get them started
1. Encourage them to write
Writing is the single best way to accelerate your learning, attract like-minded peers, and create opportunities for yourself.

2. Let them make choices 
Freedom is important to writing well.
"Students find writing most meaningful when they have some agency & control over what they're writing about" @biblioracle
Let kids choose the topic, audience, purpose, and medium.

3. Forget about rules & mechanics
Focus on what already feels like play to kids: IDEAS
The rest will follow.
"If we remove the writing rules and excessive structure that schools enforce, kids will have to make something new that reflects their true creativity." @biblioracle

4. Teach them how to use technology to create and share, not only to consume.
How to generate transformative ideas and share them with anyone, anywhere.
Once they see that their ideas have the power to create value, they'll be motivated to keep writing.

5. Encourage them to put in the reps.
Teach kids about the value of compounding, repetition, and consistency.
If they show up everyday and put in consistent work, progress is inevitable. https://twitter.com/JamesClear/status/1115544074784792576
