i'm writing a book?

Question

i'm still in highschool but i was watching that movie alex and emma (the one with luke wilson and kate hudson) and it got me to want to write a book of my own. the only problem is there are so many different idea's in my head. i already have my character's who are four girls that are best friends. its written in one persons point of veiw, they are juniors in highschool and i want it to be scandolous. so if anyone could just give me a couple ideas that i should do with them that would be great.

i guess i need to mention to u that i already have 8 pgs. worth of the book. it's from the girl, kelly's, perspective and she's totally in love with this guy. they see him at their usual hang out and he invites them to a party. now one of kelly's friends likes the guy too and dropped some hints that maybe she might actually take him. where i am right now two of them are at the party waiting for the other two and now i'm not sure wut i want to happen at this party.

Answer 1

Hello! I write too, and I wrote a 52 page novel telling about my freshman volleyball season...very dramatic! My best advice is to pull from personal experience, it makes it mean so much more!!!

Congratulations that you've found inspiration to write your first book. If you're truly sincere, you do not require feedback from anyone here at this point. You already know the answer... but perhaps you will take the time to appreciate feedback from other members of this community and choose an answer here. Others have taken from their time to answer you, and an honourable inquiry requires you do not abandon your book idea, and not abandon the answers to your question either. Your record for selecting a best answer requires much work and I trust you understand what I am saying to you. Life, like writing, is not a game.

My suggestions to you:

1. A good writer always honours her audience. Remember this as the primary reason for your work. It is an act of true and unconditional love.

2. Begin! Make no excuses, look not for the "perfect" moment, the "best" plot, or the "most interesting" characters... While many laud the merits of perfect planning, passion for writing often thrives best when you begin by planting seeds. Commit your writing to paper. The miracle of life - the magic of your work - can only begin when you give ink to your passion.

3. Live with your ideas, walk around with them, visualize them, picture your story as a life within you. Ideas, I promise, will follow and will take on a life of their own if you tend to them in your thoughts, your world, and do this ~often~.

Writing comes from within, and is rooted in you. Well-meaning people may offer suggestions, but only you can write your piece. Seek inspiration in places which offer you empowerment and add to your passion for the journey of writing.

Once you've committed your writing to a tangible form, you can then begin to test your audience. I look forward to reading your questions when you are at this stage with your book, but for now, enjoy this process for yourself, and learn how to conceive unconditional love from your greatest source: within.

Good Journey.

Hmm, well write all of your ideas down in a tablet. Then, pick out the ones that are best. Use it as a reference when you get stuck. Write down every idea, no matter how dumb it sounds . Another thing is to make a notebook all about one character. It will help you get to know her better. If you don't want to do that, do a report on her. What is her personality? WHo does she look up to? What does she look like? What does she like? Favorite book? Color? Animal? Best Friend?

After you write it, rewrite it and have someone edit it. Then, rewrite it again. If you want to get it published, you need to. Also, buy "The Writers Market" Its very helpful.

Writing a book isn't nearly as easy as it sounds. Only about 2 out of 90 authors make it!

Answer 4

they all get killed by a nuke!!!

no, sorry. Um, the friend "takes him" as you say, because Kelly got sick at the party, partly from nerves (because she suspected her friend would do this) and from having too much caffiene, or alchohol or whatever kind of party you want this to be. Her other two friends show up just in time to get her home. After the party, the friend (I'll call her sarah so I don't have to keep saying "the friend") calls and says how she and the guy are now going out.

And Kelly goes to school on Monday or whenever she goes to school next, and she feels really sick and awful, but she forces herself to act normal. And this goes on for about a week until one day as she's going home from her sports practice which ran late, she runs into the guy who also got out late from his sports practice (I suggest wrestling for the guy). And they start talking, and he says that he really likes her, and things aren't working out with sarah (Or whatever you have her name as) and if she wanted to start up with him, he's like to. Or it happens however you want it to.

But he still doesn't break up with sarah, and kelly keeps telling him to take one or the other and not both. And now Kelly doesn't like seeing sarah, so sarah comes over to her house to ask why she's being so weird. and the guy shows up, and acts like he came there cause he knew sarah was over there. And then kelly realizes that he wasn't ever going to break up with sarah. And then the next time she sees him she breaks up with him.

I don't know, I guess you wanted them to end up together. Maybe, if you want to use that plot, you could make up a really good male friend who Kelly confides to and then ends up going out with.

Answer 5

Consider them, maybe, meeting a guy. The kind of guy that would be classified as THE guy.
Maybe one or two of them isn't as infatuated as the others, but, maybe you can have the others (the ones that like him) fight over him.
You know, the kind of thing that sort of threatens the very foundations of friendship.
And...that's all I got. You might be able to work on that, then something new'll pop into your head. It happens to me all the time.

Answer 6

First off, please don't take offense to my next statement; you'll really need to work on grammar skills, especially sentence structure and flow. I'm not being critical of you, its only that its not necessariloy the subject matter of the book, but how it's presented. For an idea: life struggles of the teenage girl, written from your dad's perspective through your eyes. (send my rolyalty cheque to Britney Spears. Poor girl lost the shirt off her back, andher panties.) tsk tsk

Answer 7

For me, I just sit down and start writing. Eventualy the story starts to flow, and I start typeing faster. I've never really planned out a story, I've just started writing, and see where my head takes me. :) Best of luck with your story!
