| I can write short stories no problem. Novels are a different matter, I tried to write one some time ago and it just ran out of stea half way through because I didnt plan. What I need is a few ways of planning what is going to happen through the novel. I need planning help!!!! |

| This is a big problem for me too, I have two unfinished novels but right now I've lost intrest in them and started planning a new one, all i can suggest which is what i'm doing is scan YWS for different hints and tips about planning or if your like me a lucky enough to know a published author have a sit down and work out how they plan, i think everybody plans differently just like writing but it is helpful picking up ideas. |

For me I usually think up my characters first before brainstorming what happens to them or what they do.
For Oracle's Possession I just thought of a boy and girl who live in a world where magic is frowned upon and they are treated differently because of their powers, etc.
If you want to write a novel maybe try and write about something that interests you eg history, sci-fi, action, etc, etc.
I don't know if that helped, I'm not good with tips. |
