What to do if you have no ideas and wan't to write. Get a friend or family member to give you an opening line or two. I find this works wounders and see how you go from there.
Just belive and you will acheive!

Yeah. That sort of thing can work really well. I've found that if you've got restrictions or some starting place that's just NOT what you'd usually do, you can actually come up with things you'd never have thought of without that prompting.

Or you can twist it around in such different ways that the said prompter will look at you like you're a crazy person. XD

But yes! It does help! :D

There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
