So, long story short, I have to write a How To essay and then do a how to video to go with it for English class. And since there really isn't much I know how to do, I chose "How to Write Fiction/Novel."
But I could use some help with a few things. First is a catchy title. I always change my mind on titles but I'm hoping maybe one of you out there would happen to have a super catchy title.
Secondly, I need to be sure I have everything that you think would be covered in something like this. Right now, Rosey and I have brainstormed:

Brainstorming
Research
Plot
Characters
Setting
Dialogue
Description
Writers block


Am I leaving anything out?
If any of you have any idea or pointers or something, please help!
I would have posted this under Homework Help but this assignment is due fairly soon, the HH forum isn't one I usually see touched that often, and I don't have much time to do this in. Any help besides the wonder help Rosey gave would be awesome.

Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

One thing is that you should probably due them in a logical order that coincides with the order most writers use for the steps/parts.

Hazaah, I should have thought that one through, huh Day.
I guess I just copy and pasted them in from the spot on Notepad where I was writing them down as we talked about it. I don't plan to do them quite in that order. But I'll go back into the top post and edit quick.
Thanks!

Editting, preperation (setting the inner-editor away, getting in the mood, writing at a fixed time period etc. That could go with Writer's Block), Naming/Titling, Planning.
