If you want to do it then go for it! It's definitely not an 'unreachable goal'. And you don't have to write the beginning first, but even if you do, you can always go back and change things. Don't stress so much about it, just start writing the story you want to write. Lots of luck!

My suggestion would be don't worry too much about how to start or what the title should be. Just write whatever you want to say and it will grow over time. Most writers I know agree that the finished piece is nothing like what they started with so just go for it - get your story down and then go back and re-work the parts you are not so happy with. Good luck.

Hi iram24, don't worry. The main thing is that you have the story. Right now marketing, titling, naming characters etc is way ahead in the future. Get the story down and then worry about the detailing. You don't even have to write it in chronological order at the moment, if you have a good idea for a chapter write it now and edit it into the story later. The story is always of primary importance, the rest you can learn.
As an example, I wrote a 80K word novel a few years ago, It took me two years on and off to do it and I still can't think of a title for it.
When I had finally finished the thing, I sent it off to a couple of agents and received no positive response -Probably because my writing had not developed well enough to make it commercial- It now sits in a drawer gathering dust, but the main thing is that the story exists! One day I will take it out and re write it and may get lucky.
What I am trying to say is, enjoy your writing, write as often as you feel comfortable with it and it will get better and better. Write for the love of it, make yourself laugh and make yourself cry with your writing. You have no deadlines to meet and can afford to throw away what doesn't work while keeping the gems.
Keep at it.
