Lol. @Devu s I looked up Picasso and he was born in 1881. Pro started being used in the mid-1800s; looks like Picasso was very hip for his time. I don't think slang and memes spread as fast back then.
Except, of course, that Picasso did not say that. There are hundreds of bogus quotations in the ether, and people drink them like cattle at a water trough.
BRUH THEN I GET BORED OF THE ORIGINAL STORY, THEN I GET A NEW IDEA WITH THE NEW STORY, THEN I GET BORED AGAIN, THEN ITS AN ENDLESS CYCLE OMG ITS ANNOYINGGGG
Ok for it's not that hard you just open a new file start writing down what's going through your mind I have like more than 7 stories and I write them all the same time
When i was younger, i thought novelists are like these writer gods who just decide to sit one night and start writing a novel and finish it without any preparations, like they just go build the plot, characters, and world and everything as they write. I never really thought it was something you can actually plan and study to do. This really helped me thank you so much
Has anybody ever changed the setting of their story a hundred times? I go from gothic steampunk to high fantasy to modern world to Victorian era to medieval.
No. I just change the story itself 😂 I get an idea while writing. Say I introduce a doll, and it’s a horror story, but the doll has nothing to do with the story besides the fact someone plays with it during a convo and I want to write about THAT now. But I’m already halfway through. So I end up setting the story down so I can start the other one brut I get bored of the original writing the new. Then it’s a cycle.

Sure! You can also check out my first short story that is up on Amazon.com. Its called The Elevator. It about a CEO that gets taken to hell in an elevator. The Elevator www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z5CKVRW/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_EOg2EbPFES64R
- who they are what they're about, what their everyday lives look like - their life is suddenly different, cannot go back to how it used to, the incident doesnt match well with what they usually are/who they are as a person - 1st slap: get the main character down, keep readers reading - 2nd slap: worst thing that can happen, breaking point, they can't see a way out, you have to make your characters down - climax: huge reveal, big conflict, fight scene, they have to face off in their quest, biggest event that can happen, full of excitement, people will recommend, plot twist happen here too - resolution: just to make sure all the dusts settled, hints of next book
Hey there! I'm writing a novel where the reader takes the decisions for the main character, each decision takes you into a different part of the novel. I'm having some issues because I can't get the format right. And also I haven't found many novels that have this idea so I don't really have a guide. I would love some feedback if anyone has any!! Great video!
Look for books from a series called "Choose Your Own Adventures". They would give you decisions, and based on your decisions, give you a page number to turn to where the story continues.
Cool! I love this idea, I would totally read this! You could maybe do this by having the options and then having different “chapters” where the option they chose is played out!
I've been writing a story for almost a year and I'm on the 20th page (without the title pages, 18) I have probably spent more time on the background in the last month than I have spent on the story in the last 6 months (I usually work on it 2-3 days a month whereas recently I've spent around a week on the backgrounds this month).
I'm 10 and I've already written 10 books. I've dreamt of becoming a bestselling author one day. I may be young, but that doesn't mean I can't write a book.
Omg ur the same age as me!!!!!! But I am almost 11 in 2 or 1 months!! But i am righting a novel with paper called "Moody Kid" and i wanna be a book righter too! I don't know what the book is gonna be about but I'll just do it.
Wow, really useful. I was thinking of writing a book and was finding many videos on UA-cam to write and any of the videos are suitable for me to learn fast. Finally, I got this video and I had started to write. Thank u 🙏🏻
Thanks for this. I'm about to embark on my first short novel but want to bed myself in slowly to the world of creative writing, and this is a good start. Though I've already self published a book, this will be my first work of fiction, so requires a different approach altogether.
I read a lot of books, and in my opinion, the insiding incident is really predictable. Every book has one, so the more you read the less exiting they get. For a first timer, it does really hook them on, but it is really predictable
I am in the middle of book 2 of a 3 book series. The story is about an early 20's male who while helping his dad build a deck on the back of the house, encounters the start of an infectious outbreak that makes people attack/kill/eat each other. Trying to avoid the term zombies. His dad and him try to escape the situation but very early on his dad is killed. His entire focus now shifts to his mom and two sisters. He knows he has to try and find them, but the world is falling apart around him. His family is well over an hour away on a good day let alone in an apocalypse. The initial story is his trials and tribulations while trying to track down his family while wrestling with the possibility that they probably aren't alive anymore.
Hey, I'm currently writing an Urban Fantasy. It's about two best friends; one had been bitten, the other is a seasoned hunter, and they basically going to destroy each other once they're real identities came to light.
I’m writing a different perspective horror story series with my best friends. We finished the first book, here’s how it went. So we pretend we’re triplets in the story. Our parents win the BIGGO lottery and also happen to get a bonus at the same time so we pack our bags and move to a castle. It’s 13 stories. We claim a room on different floors. In the first book, we explore the castle and at different times find rooms on the top floor. My friend, Cassidy gets pushed on the stairs by an unknown thing. Invisible. Then she’s startled, confused, disgruntled. We’re on the climb. Then I explore up there the next day. I take a diary, and it’s knocked out of my hands “DON’T TAKE WHAT ISNT YOURS!” And it’s obviously a ghost, I can’t negative it, it’s cold, and most importantly, invisible. I run down the stairs, frightened out of my mind, complain to my mother who brushes it off not believing, and I tell Cassidy who had experienced it. Then all my sisters know. I rearrange my room (including the upstairs one, despite the fright) and then, feeling safe, Cassidy goes up there. But FIRST SLAP!!! She meets a ghost!! It’s frightening, descriptive, and totally unexpected. She screams and everyone comes upstairs. She’s stuttering and breathing rapidly, and we all sleep on the main floor. Safeness. Then Sophia, the other triplet rearranges her room (upstairs one too) and we all agree after nothing happens it’s probably gone now. We ALL sleep up there. SECOND SLAP!!! We find out there’s ghostS and slight backstory and run off to Cassidy’s room on the main floor. We’re freaked out, panicky, jumpy, confront our parents who walk in and then get ready for bed when Sophia wants more backstory. She drags us up there again!!! We look around and find the diary, but I don’t recognize it, and read it. We finish and are stunned. They died by falling down 13 floors of stairs (the stairs are spiral with a very clear and empty middle. We begin to take the diary downstairs when it gets knocked out of our hands and falls. Not wanting that to be us, we run back to Cassidy’s room. Chill, chill, chill. Then talk, and settle for bed. No one but Cassidy falls asleep. 30 minutes later, I come up with a plan and get up but Sophia says no so we quietly (it gets too loud) argue for a second and wake Cassidy. I explain my plan and we agree to go upstairs and do it. It works!!! Yay!!! End of story!!! Sorry this was so long 😬😅😳

I'm writing an urban fantasy with elements of Lovecraftian horror told from the perspective of a drug addicted loner. It starts in the Bronx of NYC. The inciting incident happens when a huge energy erupts in our atmosphere that causes almost everyone in the city to perish in an event the characters refer to as The Great Flash. The lead is knocked unconscious during the event, when he comes around he wanders a city covered in what appears to be ice, but it isn't cold to the touch and it is 80 degrees in the middle of summer. The lead discovers there are creatures lurking inside the ice. Bodily fluids set them free:saliva, urine, sweat and blood. You find out these creatures are what remains of the people who perished during the Flash. When they are set loose they consume everything in their path. My hero, Crayson witnesses their work as they tear through a stray dog after it licks the ice.
Self Publishing School this video was really helpful! I’ve been wanting to write a novel since forever and now I’ve decided to get more information to see if I’m doing it the right way. Of course I’m a beginner and the novel is in another language that I’m fluent but not native, It’s been a REAL challenge. ANYWAY, my novel consists of a early 20’s New Yorker woman who just graduated college and has been under her father’s shadow along with her brother after their mother passed away. They have never worked or fought for themselves, the money has always been there and of course, all the opportunities. After a big fight with their father because of his young girlfriend, attempting to be a mother, they decide to start their lives on their own. That’s where she meets the person who will change her world from upside down. A guy full of secrets who has been hiding for years, introduces her by mistake in all of his business, risking her life. Along with all of the circumstances and events, she realizes that she’s basically alone in the world and that even family is not a support for her complicated life. The most painful feeling is that she has been living a lie since she was born, and everybody knew it except her. Between love and fate, what will she choose? Yes, it’s a romance novel filled with intrigue, passion and, least but not last, life risking decisions. Of course I have to work a lot on it but I’m enjoying the process!!
I'm writing about people who live in Miracle Street in an abandoned subdivision. Nobody knows someone still lived there, but one summer day, they received letters that contained poems from a man named Gabriel, and every poem he sent has a connection to their everyday life events. Incognizant of the war at a city near their subdivision, a kid named Aleck and her mother stumbles into the abandoned subdivision where they met Nikolai, a kid who lives in Miracle Street. And from there, the real story finally reveals itself as Aleck and her mother went to the streets of Miracle It's an inspirational story about the mysteries of life. Title: The Miracle Street
The majority of Author tube or the authorities of writing and editing are from the West or Countries that treasures reading and the writing industry. Here in the region of Cordillera in the Philippines, it took me about 8 years to write and publish my book. The main reason is the Arts in general like writing, music, painting, sculpture, acting and the like are considered as "hobbies" and not a "real careers". People are focused on what they consider as "real careers" that are "paying jobs" like farming, carpentry, professions, businesses and the like. This is mainly due to the low standard of living or poverty that are prevalent here. It was difficult for me to find editors, beta readers, critic partners, support systems (family and friends who believed on my career choice), time to write (have to hustle in the real world to fulfill basic needs and to exhausted in my free time) and others. I end up skipping some steps and submitted my manuscript this year in a publishing company willing to help me publish as a novice writer. I don't know if this is necessary but it is my reality as a writer.
With the novel I’m writing currently, it’s kind of a weird one on how I first thought of it. I thought of the character that Is the main reason for the way the world is set up. As in, he’s the reason why the antagonists and their armies has to get stronger and why most of them are hidden. Then after that, I thought of the main character who has a goal to reach the level of the aforementioned character.
This video was so helpful thank you, I used to write a lot and I lost my sense of structure, but this really helped me. I'm trying to start a 4 book series thag follows the life of a young woman from adolescence to adulthood encountering different challenges which directly contribute to her potential downfall, but ultimately help to mold her into a stronger more resilient person. It's fiction but based on a true story of social survival
I came in not knowing how long my book was gonna be, thinking my rough draft would end up around 80 pages, (not sure how many words that would be). Now I'm getting nervous at having 150 pages and 75000 words and having a good deal to squeeze in.
I am writing a ligh novel where the mc gets transported to different world as he completes each worlds objective , he is accompanied by 2 other of his school friend . total of 7 worlds but i have written 3 ;)
I am working on a novel for the first time. This is new territory for me. Someone smarter than me once said that you should be able to summarize the plot behind your novel in one sentence. Mine would be that it's a story someone trying to make sense of a senseless world where he feels like he doesn't belong. More to come at a later date. Probably much later. LOL.
I'm writing a comedic book about a man who owns and operates a pest control business. It will have a narrator and will treat the MC as if he's one of those Film Noire detectives. One part of the idea is that the vermin he's called to exterminate are drawn to the people's houses by bad juju, as it were, spirits who are not evil, but they're closer to evil than good. The MC uses good spirits/magic to bring the bad spirits out. He also has to be a kind of therapist to the people in the house, to help them resolve their issues, so the bad spirits will be easier to draw out. He is a bit of a Pied Piper.
I got about 40k words into my first novel, then stopped because I started taking night classes, now I’m too scared to continue writing, like I lost the momentum and it seems too daunting a task.
Im at 70k words now, 2 months later. Was off work due to covid and pumped out 30k. It still seems daunting but you just have to keep chipping away at it! Plot wise I’m only about a third of the way through.

I'm thinking of writing novel, but i don't know how to. I do poetry and stuff but writing novel feels overwhelming. I don't know if I have it in me to keep going with a novel. Writing long consistent stuff with a storyline doesn't come as naturally as writing poems to me. Do you have any tips for me? Any tutorial that teaches how to write? Thank you.
I have read quite a few books many of the books features the writer acts like the character in the story For example The story goes like I decided to catch the train I woke up I looked around and found something suspicious This more feels like reading protagonist's journal I like this type of stories but what I want to really write is those types of stories where the writer acts like the narrator like this way Harry woke up John decided to catch the train Damian found something suspicious Where the writer acts like a third person narrating the already happened event I need some tips about writting such type of novel

Here's a blurb for my novel: Sally was just an ordinary blurbologist, until one day the blurb-writing AI she designed broke free and took over the World. Now, it's written blurbs for every person on the planet, which are mercilessly enforced by the dreaded Blurb Police (mostly former copy editors) with their deadly (but colorful) post-it guns. And YOU must read this novel, because it says so right here, and because this is not just Sally's blurb ... IT"S YOURS!

We always recommend being careful with super drastic cliff hangers--reason being is that your reader wants to feel like the MAIN storyline has come to a close or they won't be satisfied (think: people will be angry and not even want to read on). If you want someone to die and leave it a "mystery" as to the cause, THAT could work, but only after the main plot line has been tied up. We teach our authors to do this by "opening loops". So you can foreshadow and open a loop about the CAUSE of the death, and still end the story with the surprising death by an unknown cause, which will make readers want to read on. That's just an example of how loops work for book series. Hope that helps Lexie!
Really informative and great guide for beginner's!! Im a new writer and my first book is a young adult spy novel, its about female childhood friends, that one day spies and how their new life as spies test their friendship and whether or not they can keep their story bon through all the difficult challenges of being spies BTW, it would be rly helpful if anyone has any feedback on this, this is not the final thing I might change it as I start writing so any tips or feedback would be helpful 😅👍
What kind of spies? Do they infiltrate a government as children somehow? Or do they spy on the cool, rich kids and use the info against them? This could go so many different ways!
Hello, I just found your video. Back in September I started writing my first real Novel but I've been writing stories since 1998 when I was 14 years old, I decided to destroy them all without showing them to anyone. Two months ago I decided to send a Chapter to my sister because I wanted her opinion and she told me that I need to improve the dialogues a little more to make them more appealing and interesting but my question is: how do I write great dialogues specially when there are children talking? I got stuck at Chapter 45 for two months but this week I grabbed my laptop and restarted writing and now I'm at Chapter 47. I'm still writing the 1st draft, I'm writing whatever comes to my mind and I have a feeling that it will be too long. I just reached 67 thousand words, last month I bought 3 small notebooks but I haven't used them yet, I will use them for the 2nd draft. Hopefully draft 2 will be better, faster and maybe a little bit shorter.
Hi guys! I'm planning to write a novel. But I can't choose for the title. The Blood Sovereign (Monarch of living things) Or The Blood Sovereign (Monarch of the living) You can suggest titles too. It's highly appreciated.
I've written everything down, thank you for your tips, but one thing I struggle with is the set up, people often say you should write what you know and because I was born and raised in London I feel as though the set up (My novels) should always take place in London no matter the genre.However, I don't want it to be like that all the time, I want to be flexible and versatile but I feel as though if its set in another place like New york it will be very hard for me to write because I'm not used to the environment in real life....what are your suggestions.
I'd say learn about other places and do a lot of research first before attempting to write a story outside of London. It's kind of like writing historical fiction, you've never been there, but with enough research and an imaginative mind it will seem like the author has been there and sometimes he/she could take you to those places through their words. Try things out to see what works for u
Hey I am 12 yr and I wanna write a fantasy novel ....... I do have a basic idea but I can't recognize if it's a plot or yet to be worked on Even if it is a plot and has a lots of plot holes I wanna share my idea if anyone of you might want to know about it , I don't have and other social media so if you can help me out to know I my plotline is good or not , plz reply and tell me and I will tell you my basic storyline...
Hello, can someone help me with my title? The idea i come up is about my self. I want to create books so when i dissappear from this world atleast one book so when someone misses me I'll still be with them through that book. I have been suffering of depression and anxiety for 2 years now and i tried to tell them my sickness but they don't understand at all. But the rest of the story will be on the book :'). Once I finished my book I'll try to post this on the twitter or google. So please help me with my title. I have two titles in my mind now: The person that cared about living or Life beyond control Please help me combine these two title.
.......for now you have me visualing Robyn Williams, some of his movies have titles that can now sum up concepts cos they are now in the rhealm of the icons of western society.. .. ..Spike Milligan , a famous British comedian with obvious PTSD issues cos of ww2 directed some important lines to be scribed on his gravestone. . . I've always wondered about Tony Hancock and his last days in Sydney. You see ; his sidekick Sydney James obviously was the star in his sitcom show .
Hey... I'm in depression too for 5 years now but I always wanted to live cuz I don't feel alive , and what makes half-alive today is my dreams , don't give up this easy, someday you're going get out of it , just have hope , and I know how hard it is to have a hope, coz sometimes I just wanna end it but I know and you know and we're all know it's gonna pass today or tomorrow, keep yourself busy and write more books/novels and you're gonna be okay . Look, your family loves you and you can deal with depression by yourself, just believe in that . Open up to the ones that you know they're gonna listen to you and good luck with life [even I don't believe in luck, you're the one who decides 💕] And life beyond control is the one btw

Writing a novel 101 course produces the same expected boring turn around of events...my advice: write without following any rules...in fact it is better to break them!
I started writting story about amateur salsa dancer, Chris, who has everything he wanted - friends, parties, loving family, rich night live. But one day, everything falls apart, when he found, during quarantine of Covid19, an old encrypted letter from his ex-GF... And by the way - thanks for the tips, I already used your five milestones story structure! :)
........most are protagonist 1st person narrative. But of third person narrative opens the door to the thought processes of the other characters and fast overall picture creation. Then you can have chapters where protagonist isn't present narrated in the third person but chapters where protagonist is present told in first person. . . I'm only a reader though, I ain't written anything .
"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist."

@Devu s Turns out that the word pro (informal usage for professional) has been around since the mid-19th century.

Lol. @Devu s I looked up Picasso and he was born in 1881. Pro started being used in the mid-1800s; looks like Picasso was very hip for his time. I don't think slang and memes spread as fast back then.
Except, of course, that Picasso did not say that. There are hundreds of bogus quotations in the ether, and people drink them like cattle at a water trough.

Hey there!
I'm writing a novel where the reader takes the decisions for the main character, each decision takes you into a different part of the novel. I'm having some issues because I can't get the format right. And also I haven't found many novels that have this idea so I don't really have a guide. I would love some feedback if anyone has any!!
Great video!
Try using page different directions? Read Goosebumps books 🤣 they have alot of books like this kind of
I think u r talking about game books. Am i right? I love these kind of books!
Look for books from a series called "Choose Your Own Adventures". They would give you decisions, and based on your decisions, give you a page number to turn to where the story continues.
Angelo Pecorelli one suggestion is not telling your ideas because people could steal them. Never tell your millionaires ideas.
Cool! I love this idea, I would totally read this! You could maybe do this by having the options and then having different “chapters” where the option they chose is played out!
I've been writing a story for almost a year and I'm on the 20th page (without the title pages, 18) I have probably spent more time on the background in the last month than I have spent on the story in the last 6 months (I usually work on it 2-3 days a month whereas recently I've spent around a week on the backgrounds this month).
I'm 10 and I've already written 10 books. I've dreamt of becoming a bestselling author one day. I may be young, but that doesn't mean I can't write a book.
Omg ur the same age as me!!!!!! But I am almost 11 in 2 or 1 months!! But i am righting a novel with paper called "Moody Kid" and i wanna be a book righter too! I don't know what the book is gonna be about but I'll just do it.
@@pinkperfumefairy9205 I'm turning 11 in May and it's good to know that u like writing too!
Keep it up, kid. Hope to read some of your books in the future! 👍
@@vhencie thank you so much!
omg! samed, im turning 5 next month and I'm near on finishing my first book
I wish I could be a pantser, but try doing that with a 5 book series, that's not gonna work so well.
Wait you’re writing a 5 book series too??? What genre????? 😂
Wow, really useful. I was thinking of writing a book and was finding many videos on UA-cam to write and any of the videos are suitable for me to learn fast. Finally, I got this video and I had started to write. Thank u 🙏🏻
Thanks for this. I'm about to embark on my first short novel but want to bed myself in slowly to the world of creative writing, and this is a good start.
Though I've already self published a book, this will be my first work of fiction, so requires a different approach altogether.
Awesome! Book a call with the team and let’s see how we can help with your novel: selfpublishing.com/apply
Thank you for your great advice. We are learning so much from you.
I read a lot of books, and in my opinion, the insiding incident is really predictable. Every book has one, so the more you read the less exiting they get. For a first timer, it does really hook them on, but it is really predictable
I am in the middle of book 2 of a 3 book series. The story is about an early 20's male who while helping his dad build a deck on the back of the house, encounters the start of an infectious outbreak that makes people attack/kill/eat each other. Trying to avoid the term zombies. His dad and him try to escape the situation but very early on his dad is killed. His entire focus now shifts to his mom and two sisters. He knows he has to try and find them, but the world is falling apart around him. His family is well over an hour away on a good day let alone in an apocalypse. The initial story is his trials and tribulations while trying to track down his family while wrestling with the possibility that they probably aren't alive anymore.
I get all my ideas from a dream, I dream a lot and there has been many ideas I want to write, so this really helps me thank you.
I've already made a 100,000 words novel but decided i wanted to change it. Well, here i am back to chapter 1. Just finish the preface a while ago.
Hey, I'm currently writing an Urban Fantasy. It's about two best friends; one had been bitten, the other is a seasoned hunter, and they basically going to destroy each other once they're real identities came to light.
Wow dude that sounds really good, I hope you go through with it
Yeah. They'll like hide things from each other from here on out. Then each secret will be revealed as the story progressed.
@@user-sg3wp2qs2b thanks. Still in the drafting phase tho
I’m writing a different perspective horror story series with my best friends. We finished the first book, here’s how it went. So we pretend we’re triplets in the story. Our parents win the BIGGO lottery and also happen to get a bonus at the same time so we pack our bags and move to a castle. It’s 13 stories. We claim a room on different floors. In the first book, we explore the castle and at different times find rooms on the top floor. My friend, Cassidy gets pushed on the stairs by an unknown thing. Invisible. Then she’s startled, confused, disgruntled. We’re on the climb. Then I explore up there the next day. I take a diary, and it’s knocked out of my hands “DON’T TAKE WHAT ISNT YOURS!” And it’s obviously a ghost, I can’t negative it, it’s cold, and most importantly, invisible. I run down the stairs, frightened out of my mind, complain to my mother who brushes it off not believing, and I tell Cassidy who had experienced it. Then all my sisters know. I rearrange my room (including the upstairs one, despite the fright) and then, feeling safe, Cassidy goes up there. But FIRST SLAP!!! She meets a ghost!! It’s frightening, descriptive, and totally unexpected. She screams and everyone comes upstairs. She’s stuttering and breathing rapidly, and we all sleep on the main floor. Safeness. Then Sophia, the other triplet rearranges her room (upstairs one too) and we all agree after nothing happens it’s probably gone now. We ALL sleep up there. SECOND SLAP!!! We find out there’s ghostS and slight backstory and run off to Cassidy’s room on the main floor. We’re freaked out, panicky, jumpy, confront our parents who walk in and then get ready for bed when Sophia wants more backstory. She drags us up there again!!! We look around and find the diary, but I don’t recognize it, and read it. We finish and are stunned. They died by falling down 13 floors of stairs (the stairs are spiral with a very clear and empty middle. We begin to take the diary downstairs when it gets knocked out of our hands and falls. Not wanting that to be us, we run back to Cassidy’s room. Chill, chill, chill. Then talk, and settle for bed. No one but Cassidy falls asleep. 30 minutes later, I come up with a plan and get up but Sophia says no so we quietly (it gets too loud) argue for a second and wake Cassidy. I explain my plan and we agree to go upstairs and do it. It works!!! Yay!!! End of story!!! Sorry this was so long 😬😅😳
Nice 🙂👍

Im writing a post apocalyptic novel about a man who wakes up in an asylum with no memories, and tries to figure out what is going on
I'm writing an urban fantasy with elements of Lovecraftian horror told from the perspective of a drug addicted loner. It starts in the Bronx of NYC. The inciting incident happens when a huge energy erupts in our atmosphere that causes almost everyone in the city to perish in an event the characters refer to as The Great Flash. The lead is knocked unconscious during the event, when he comes around he wanders a city covered in what appears to be ice, but it isn't cold to the touch and it is 80 degrees in the middle of summer. The lead discovers there are creatures lurking inside the ice. Bodily fluids set them free:saliva, urine, sweat and blood. You find out these creatures are what remains of the people who perished during the Flash. When they are set loose they consume everything in their path. My hero, Crayson witnesses their work as they tear through a stray dog after it licks the ice.
Self Publishing School this video was really helpful! I’ve been wanting to write a novel since forever and now I’ve decided to get more information to see if I’m doing it the right way. Of course I’m a beginner and the novel is in another language that I’m fluent but not native, It’s been a REAL challenge.
ANYWAY, my novel consists of a early 20’s New Yorker woman who just graduated college and has been under her father’s shadow along with her brother after their mother passed away. They have never worked or fought for themselves, the money has always been there and of course, all the opportunities.
After a big fight with their father because of his young girlfriend, attempting to be a mother, they decide to start their lives on their own. That’s where she meets the person who will change her world from upside down. A guy full of secrets who has been hiding for years, introduces her by mistake in all of his business, risking her life. Along with all of the circumstances and events, she realizes that she’s basically alone in the world and that even family is not a support for her complicated life.
The most painful feeling is that she has been living a lie since she was born, and everybody knew it except her. Between love and fate, what will she choose?
Yes, it’s a romance novel filled with intrigue, passion and, least but not last, life risking decisions. Of course I have to work a lot on it but I’m enjoying the process!!
How do we know that the concept that we have choosen for novel building was already used by someone or in some book?
I'm writing about people who live in Miracle Street in an abandoned subdivision. Nobody knows someone still lived there, but one summer day, they received letters that contained poems from a man named Gabriel, and every poem he sent has a connection to their everyday life events. Incognizant of the war at a city near their subdivision, a kid named Aleck and her mother stumbles into the abandoned subdivision where they met Nikolai, a kid who lives in Miracle Street. And from there, the real story finally reveals itself as Aleck and her mother went to the streets of Miracle
It's an inspirational story about the mysteries of life.
Title: The Miracle Street
Thank you and yes your video has more to it than people realise. Thank you
The majority of Author tube or the authorities of writing and editing are from the West or Countries that treasures reading and the writing industry. Here in the region of Cordillera in the Philippines, it took me about 8 years to write and publish my book. The main reason is the Arts in general like writing, music, painting, sculpture, acting and the like are considered as "hobbies" and not a "real careers". People are focused on what they consider as "real careers" that are "paying jobs" like farming, carpentry, professions, businesses and the like. This is mainly due to the low standard of living or poverty that are prevalent here. It was difficult for me to find editors, beta readers, critic partners, support systems (family and friends who believed on my career choice), time to write (have to hustle in the real world to fulfill basic needs and to exhausted in my free time) and others. I end up skipping some steps and submitted my manuscript this year in a publishing company willing to help me publish as a novice writer. I don't know if this is necessary but it is my reality as a writer.
"Mountain Town Tennis Story" A hyperrealism contemporary novel. Setting the creating process as of 11 June 2021.
With the novel I’m writing currently, it’s kind of a weird one on how I first thought of it. I thought of the character that Is the main reason for the way the world is set up. As in, he’s the reason why the antagonists and their armies has to get stronger and why most of them are hidden. Then after that, I thought of the main character who has a goal to reach the level of the aforementioned character.
Love this! Great tips :)
This video was so helpful thank you, I used to write a lot and I lost my sense of structure, but this really helped me. I'm trying to start a 4 book series thag follows the life of a young woman from adolescence to adulthood encountering different challenges which directly contribute to her potential downfall, but ultimately help to mold her into a stronger more resilient person. It's fiction but based on a true story of social survival
I came in not knowing how long my book was gonna be, thinking my rough draft would end up around 80 pages, (not sure how many words that would be). Now I'm getting nervous at having 150 pages and 75000 words and having a good deal to squeeze in.
You are actually in a good position. You could end that book and then put the rest in a 2nd book making it a series.
Trust me 2 small books are always better than a long book.
I am writing a ligh novel where the mc gets transported to different world as he completes each worlds objective , he is accompanied by 2 other of his school friend . total of 7 worlds but i have written 3 ;)
I am working on a novel for the first time. This is new territory for me. Someone smarter than me once said that you should be able to summarize the plot behind your novel in one sentence. Mine would be that it's a story someone trying to make sense of a senseless world where he feels like he doesn't belong. More to come at a later date. Probably much later. LOL.
how is your novel going?
Writing a Novel & Getting Published for Dummies. Is what I’m using.
I'm writing a comedic book about a man who owns and operates a pest control business. It will have a narrator and will treat the MC as if he's one of those Film Noire detectives. One part of the idea is that the vermin he's called to exterminate are drawn to the people's houses by bad juju, as it were, spirits who are not evil, but they're closer to evil than good. The MC uses good spirits/magic to bring the bad spirits out. He also has to be a kind of therapist to the people in the house, to help them resolve their issues, so the bad spirits will be easier to draw out. He is a bit of a Pied Piper.
Ben West this sounds so interesting and unique! I would love to read this one day!!
recommend me a video that talls about house to start writing the story which is in your mind
I wanna learn since I got motivated while watching an anime.
I got about 40k words into my first novel, then stopped because I started taking night classes, now I’m too scared to continue writing, like I lost the momentum and it seems too daunting a task.
Im at 70k words now, 2 months later. Was off work due to covid and pumped out 30k. It still seems daunting but you just have to keep chipping away at it! Plot wise I’m only about a third of the way through.
take timeeee you can do ittt

I have read quite a few books many of the books features the writer acts like the character in the story
For example
The story goes like
I decided to catch the train
I woke up
I looked around and found something suspicious
This more feels like reading protagonist's journal
I like this type of stories but what I want to really write is those types of stories where the writer acts like the narrator like this way
Harry woke up
John decided to catch the train
Damian found something suspicious
Where the writer acts like a third person narrating the already happened event
I need some tips about writting such type of novel
Thanks for your comment! Happy to read that!

Well it haven't been written by you. Just keep it up😊
Love this. Your video seems quite helpful. Thanks 😊😊😊
What if I’m writing a series and I want to leave it off with a huge cliffhanger like one of them dies
We always recommend being careful with super drastic cliff hangers--reason being is that your reader wants to feel like the MAIN storyline has come to a close or they won't be satisfied (think: people will be angry and not even want to read on). If you want someone to die and leave it a "mystery" as to the cause, THAT could work, but only after the main plot line has been tied up. We teach our authors to do this by "opening loops". So you can foreshadow and open a loop about the CAUSE of the death, and still end the story with the surprising death by an unknown cause, which will make readers want to read on. That's just an example of how loops work for book series. Hope that helps Lexie!
Great Video
Really informative and great guide for beginner's!! Im a new writer and my first book is a young adult spy novel, its about female childhood friends, that one day spies and how their new life as spies test their friendship and whether or not they can keep their story bon through all the difficult challenges of being spies
BTW, it would be rly helpful if anyone has any feedback on this, this is not the final thing I might change it as I start writing so any tips or feedback would be helpful 😅👍
What kind of spies? Do they infiltrate a government as children somehow? Or do they spy on the cool, rich kids and use the info against them? This could go so many different ways!
Did they ever post that word count list for different genre types?

Hello, I just found your video. Back in September I started writing my first real Novel but I've been writing stories since 1998 when I was 14 years old, I decided to destroy them all without showing them to anyone. Two months ago I decided to send a Chapter to my sister because I wanted her opinion and she told me that I need to improve the dialogues a little more to make them more appealing and interesting but my question is: how do I write great dialogues specially when there are children talking? I got stuck at Chapter 45 for two months but this week I grabbed my laptop and restarted writing and now I'm at Chapter 47. I'm still writing the 1st draft, I'm writing whatever comes to my mind and I have a feeling that it will be too long. I just reached 67 thousand words, last month I bought 3 small notebooks but I haven't used them yet, I will use them for the 2nd draft. Hopefully draft 2 will be better, faster and maybe a little bit shorter.
Hello
@@tabassumkhan2629 Hello.
Hi, can we connect on Instagram? I have a lot to talk about
Hi guys! I'm planning to write a novel.
But I can't choose for the title.
The Blood Sovereign (Monarch of living things)
Or
The Blood Sovereign (Monarch of the living)
You can suggest titles too. It's highly appreciated.
I think the latter one is better
Titles sometimes are harder to come by than the work itself
The second
I've written everything down, thank you for your tips, but one thing I struggle with is the set up, people often say you should write what you know and because I was born and raised in London I feel as though the set up (My novels) should always take place in London no matter the genre.However, I don't want it to be like that all the time, I want to be flexible and versatile but I feel as though if its set in another place like New york it will be very hard for me to write because I'm not used to the environment in real life....what are your suggestions.
I'd say learn about other places and do a lot of research first before attempting to write a story outside of London. It's kind of like writing historical fiction, you've never been there, but with enough research and an imaginative mind it will seem like the author has been there and sometimes he/she could take you to those places through their words. Try things out to see what works for u
what do you mean by choosing an audience??
I'm working on a novel it is a blend of law and order meets scream. So obviously this is a crime/horror type of genre.
I write two pages of a story, get bored, and start a new story. How do i stop doing that?
Me too man

Hello, can someone help me with my title? The idea i come up is about my self. I want to create books so when i dissappear from this world atleast one book so when someone misses me I'll still be with them through that book. I have been suffering of depression and anxiety for 2 years now and i tried to tell them my sickness but they don't understand at all. But the rest of the story will be on the book :'). Once I finished my book I'll try to post this on the twitter or google. So please help me with my title.
I have two titles in my mind now:
The person that cared about living or
Life beyond control
Please help me combine these two title.
.......for now you have me visualing Robyn Williams, some of his movies have titles that can now sum up concepts cos they are now in the rhealm of the icons of western society.. .. ..Spike Milligan , a famous British comedian with obvious PTSD issues cos of ww2 directed some important lines to be scribed on his gravestone. . . I've always wondered about Tony Hancock and his last days in Sydney. You see ; his sidekick Sydney James obviously was the star in his sitcom show .
Hey... I'm in depression too for 5 years now but I always wanted to live cuz I don't feel alive , and what makes half-alive today is my dreams , don't give up this easy, someday you're going get out of it , just have hope , and I know how hard it is to have a hope, coz sometimes I just wanna end it but I know and you know and we're all know it's gonna pass today or tomorrow, keep yourself busy and write more books/novels and you're gonna be okay .
Look, your family loves you and you can deal with depression by yourself, just believe in that . Open up to the ones that you know they're gonna listen to you and good luck with life [even I don't believe in luck, you're the one who decides 💕]
And life beyond control is the one btw
Your slaps had me dead lmao 💀

........most are protagonist 1st person narrative. But of third person narrative opens the door to the thought processes of the other characters and fast overall picture creation.
