its a good fantasy... He's a little prince trying to find a planet of
his own...I read it and it's COOL... promise you won't get bored..Also
try that's all I know.. Im not really into romance... Well good luck!
answers8:You write what is in your heart and what your mind tells you
to write.There is no way to desribe the feeling when a writer picks up
a pen and tells a story about characters they see in their mind -
trust me.That's why I hate Writer's Block - that natural ability to
just WRITE dies for a while and it sucks because I want to write, I
just can't....Show more
answers9:That is the stupidest saying I've ever heard. How are you
supposed to write something good if you don't think about what you're
writing about? But no one can help you get ideas for writing, you need
to do that yourself. You can get ideas by asking people, but if you
think of the idea yourself you will do a better job of writing it.
Don't try to think up an idea. When you're in the "inspired" mood
it'll just come to you like it came to a lot of famous writers.

answers16:During the height of the Cold War back in the 60's there was
a scare that we might be attacked or involved in a nuclear
confrontation. For that reason a lot of people ended up building bomb
shelters in their back yards. At that time there was a two volume set
of books written which if you survived a nuclear war, with these books
you could restart a part of civilization. The set was called THE WAY
THINGS WORK. I have seen the updated versions in one volume and do not
agree that they are better. I like the original. These books teach you
how to make soap, vinegar, tan hides, preserve food, build a simple
water wheel, a simple lathe. In other words simple things that you can
make that will help you restart civilization to a point. Great books
if you can find them in my opinion....Show more

answers18:Gathering Blue
answers19:People who answered that haven't written anything
worthwhile. Trust me. I, on the other hand, am writing a novel. I
didn't see your first question, but my advice to you is to write down
any idea you have. Then think about how you could form a story about
that. If you can make an elaborrate story off the top of your head,
try that prompt.
answers20:Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series
answers21:"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis, is excellent."Hidden
Camera," Zoran Zivkovic, is light mystery, makes you think."West with
the Night," Beryl Markham, is good non-fiction romance/adventure, as
is"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D. (she now writes for
"Mademoiselle")."Hope Rising" and "Bridge Called Hope," Kim Meeder,
might be good, as they're true stories about teens and horses....Show

answers22:There's a book that I like very much by Roberta Allen called
Fast Fiction. She writes about the idea of writing a five-minute
story. You start with the germ of an idea, such as "write a story
about a lie." Then you set a timer for five minutes, and in those
five minutes you write a story with a beginning, middle and end.Does
that first draft suck? Almost certainly! But now you have come up
with an idea by writing, by the special sort of thinking that comes
when you have no choice but to keep putting down words. Of course,
this is not the only way to write. I also write work where I spend a
lot of time thinking about what I'm going to write. But many good
ideas come from just jumping in with only the smallest hint of an idea
and the demand that in five or ten or fifteen minutes, you are going
to have at least a very messy rough draft.There is a composition
technique called "freewriting" in which you sit down and write for ten
minutes. The rule is that you have to keep writing no matter what, so
if you can't think of anything to write, you can write, "I can't think
of anything to write. This is stupid. This is stupid." Eventually,
as you think about how mad you are about having nothing to say, you'll
think of something. Then you just keep going with it. After ten
minutes, you stop and look at what you've written so far. Do you have
a topic yet? If not, you set the timer for ten minutes again and
write about how you don't have an idea. But if you did get an idea
the first time, you set the timer and freewrite *about* that idea.When
I did a five minute story starting only with "Write a story about a
lie," I ended up with the first draft of a very strange fairy tale.
My ending sucked, but the beginning and middle had some cool stuff.
The story was weird and about things I would not ordinarily write
about. Eventually, the revised story was published. It was nominated
for a Bram Stoker Award for the best horror story of the year. One of
the other finalists was a story by Stephen King.My story won. And it
all started with just writing without an idea....Show more
answers23:i kno this answer looks pretty long but deffinately read
this. the book is called twilight by stephenie meyer. i swear this is
the best book ever! the second book is called new moon and the third
and newest book is eclipse. here is an exerpt and summary of twilight
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble
hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen.
Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then
abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow
at the base of my throat." As Shakespeare knew, love burns high
when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by
Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely
star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love.
But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she
arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity
of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the
danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she
risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic
tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely
human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new
kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another
realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks
on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she
wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit
together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and
then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued
vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has
inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome
Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the
family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human
in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts
this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a
place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell
trust me this is a great book. the first 2 chapters are kind of slow

answers24:They meant that:You can psyche yourself out by thinking so
much about writing that you're afraid to write. Especially with your
head full of grammar rules and unrealistic expectations of your
writings.For that there is an exercise called "freewriting" which
involves just writing continiously for a set period, usually 10-15
minutes. No corrections, no pausing.However, while this produces
writing, it's the equivelent of panning for gold...you might find a
nugget once in awhile, but probably nothing worth the backstrain.So
without knowing what you want to write...here's some questions to
stoke the fires -- answer them with specifics, language with
details.What do you care about?What's wrong with the world right
now?What's right with the world right now?What would you risk your
life and your freedom to change if it went wrong?What inspires you?Use
your answers as search engine fodder -- and see what the net throws
back at you. write down things as you encounter them in your
travels.Go to the library, find books about those subjects.After all
that, you'll either have some grist for your writing mill...or you'll
just be better read.A lot of speculative fiction relies (or seems to)
on kernels, starting ideas with "What if..." or "Once upon a
time..."So try freewriting in conjuction with starting off with a
"what if"?Of course, none of this is under warranty, you
understand...but I hope it helps....Show more

answers26:When i asked how to get ideas for writing, the people
answered," just write, dont think". Wha do they mean by that, what are
you supposed to write?????
answers27:Even if your not into classical music you'll love this one,
it's called Hillary and Jackie, written by Jackie's sister and
brother, Hillary and Piers du Pre, I've read it at least eighteen
times and I never do that, I've been an avid reader since I was about
six or seven and have never read one over and over like this one, it's
a great family story, and you won't believe the way they lived, it
sounded like they lived one hundred years ago, they were the epitome
of a loving old fashioned family, who discovered at a young age that
they had a genius in the family. This book is nothing like the movie,
that was a big disappointment to me, the book I rate a 10, the movie I
rate a 4. Another book I'm reading now is fabulous, it's called,
"Einstein a Life" and it gives you a lot of the private side of the
professor, what a loving guy, you'll go away loving this man, and wish
that he was your grandfather !!!!!!!!!!...Show more
answers28:I've been waiting for a question like this! It's an awesome
book called Shabanu, by Susanne Fisher-Staples. The sequel is Haveli,
but you have to be in a serious mood to appreciate them. Another is
The House of The Scorpion, by nancy farmer, and Crabbe (i think by
william bell). There are lots more that I can't think of now, though.
answers29:The "get a existence" trolls are actually not even properly
truthfully worth the protection. They do it to attempt to make
themselves experience extra beneficial. forget approximately their
immature pathetic ignorant nasty solutions first of all-- giving then
a foul answer top returned merely brings you all the way down to their
point and is inquiring for extra, this is precisely what they pick. So
do not feed the trolls!! besides, of direction they are able to't
arise with something extra suitable than "get a existence" because of
the fact they're immature pathetic ignorant unimaginative trolls. this
is, rely of certainty, relatively the very definition of "troll" and
that they might desire to be surpassed over from the initiating,
fairly of fed! They merely approximately actually bite the hands that
feed them!...Show more
