MissAmie One thing to remember is that you don't need to start at the beginning. Just start typing what's in your head. Even if it's the middle of the story, you can always add more to it later. If you're having good ideas get them on paper before you lose them. Once...

bangingsim If i were you i would keep a journal and pen and when a thought comes to your mind write it down. Every night look over what you wrote and see if anything clicks in your mind.

puddytat101 Keep a pen and a little black book handy at all times. If you go blank at a computer screen, don't fret. Keep your mind clear of the stress of having to pound the keys to a successful novel. While doing things that make you happy, jot down random thoughts as...

SaMB2509 Make an out line first. That way you can start planning the events by chapters. Then you just basically fill in the story but with structure.

fclavecillas You're having a writer's block. I have experienced that too. I have talked to friends who are writers and I was told that there's a way to overcome a writer's block. Here's one way: Get a favorite story and copy it manually and savor the flow of the words as...

makelifehappy I think the best thing you can do is just start writing and then later when the book is "finished" you can start going back and editing, but make sure you keep copies of all the revisions and changes. I wrote a couple of short books when I was younger and...

SpikeTheLobster Write the bits you *can* do. Don't start at the beginning: a lot of authors will tell you the hardest part is the opening page. Jot down little bits of conversation, write a scene, make a few notes on how things could go in the story. Before long, you'll find...

gamingworld You should just write it on paper. Did you know the author of harry potter wrote her books all in hand before it was published and stuff. She was poor now look at her, shes all rich. That is quite a transformation. When I type stuff I cant seem to think of...

Claireds Then it's good enough to get started! Just write what's in your mind at the moment. It doesn't have to be good. In fact, it' better if it's not. Don't be bothered if you'll get it right or not just write. You'll do the polishing up later on. I also suggest you...

lazeebee I think the older movies (not their remakes) are scarier than the newer ones. I remember watching the first Exorcist (really creepy), and then the Omen series - these really scared me!
