Hah, that sounds good that your making plans on writing a e book. i'm 14 too. i'm on the attitude of writing 2 books. I have one began and the different one is in basic terms about finished! As for ideas, like the first individual stated. attempt no longer to make it too lengthy and over unique, yet make confident you position adequate component in it, so the readers are not like ' What the heck is going on the following ' type of outrage. And when you're planing on enhancing it, that is the trick that helped me a lot. positioned your e book away --the only it truly is performed-- for more effective or less 3 weeks - a month. Then when you style have forgotten about it, bypass lower back to it and locate the blunders. do not change to a lot, because you may want to somewhat have a mess of enhancing to do then to have like 3 pages of excellent things. it would want to be good how that is :)

The Open University does a 12 week on-line course called Start Writing Fiction (Course code A174) that you might find helpful for your book. The next course starts in May and you would need to register by 23 March.

Don't start at the beginning then. If you have the ideas worked out and the plot too, pick a scene from the book that you can imagine really well and start there- even if it is the middle. Then work out in all directions from there.

Prepare the synopsis of the story you want to write. Then you read the same again and again to improve the story. Start writing the book without fear. You will succeed. Celebrated Greek Philosopher Plato says "Beginning is the most important part of the work".

perhaps write the main scene, where everything good happens, then add the end and the beginning, it may help if you're more exited at that idea and you think it's the best part of the book, so start from there and let your imagination take you to how the problem was caused and to how it was resolved....

A trick that has always worked for me it us to summarize your story in the form of a poem.

I had this big idea once and wrote a 1 page poem that eventually blossomed into a full novella.

The poem helps condense your thoughts to the most important points. These points will eventually lead to development of key scenes, etc in your story.

Keep your poem to one page!

give up and do something else. A book isn't like a diary, it requires planning. A lot of planning. And serious research too. Try reading a book; it's a lot easier than writing one

Try just writing for 20 minutes. Don't think about it, and don't stop, just start telling the story. You could be starting at any stage of the story, but at least it will be something on your screen to edit and build on. Hope this helps.

When I have problems starting a scene, I just start in the middle of the scene. You know where you want it to begine, but start in the middle of the action. It might help.
