You need to first think of what you want that book to be about.
Then you need to think of what perspective you want it to be. 1st or 3rd.
Next get your characters. Once you do that. Talk to them. Ask things like: Are you an only child? etc.
Once you got that. You can just write down your ideas.
Then make it into a form of a book

I find it rude that folks think there is this magic bullet that, if only someone will share it with you, anyone can write. Writing is a craft, and like all crafts you must work at it. It is up to you, as the writer, to develop your ideas. Nobody can do that for you. YOU need to determine what you want to say to the reader. If you have nothing to say, then don't write. It really is that simple. It's not rude. It's reality. Hey, I wish I could paint, but I can't even make a stick figure come out right. It's not my talent. It's not good or bad. It's just the way it is. And if you can't yourself decide what to say in a story, you are no writer.

You can't really "learn" how to be creative, you have to know how to do that already.
If you are, when you actually sit down to write you will get ideas and names, if you can't do that, then writing a book will be very difficult, if not impossible.
Just think about what you like, what would you like to read? Names are cake too, don't worry about that. Draw from people around you, especially if you're doing a romance novel, which could be likely set in modern times, don't take their full names, but first, or last names are fine, and you can take them from television, magazines, newspapers, or just names you know.

I pass judgement on a well booklet, similar to I might pass judgement on a well film. My quantity one rule is, if it makes me cry, it is handed my experiment. I like books that make me consider as even though the characters and their instances are truly. I desire to put out of your mind that I'm even studying. A well booklet is one who continues you up into the early hours of the morning. You discover your self crying, shaking in worry or pleasure. Those are the books which are "epidermis breaking" for my part. So a few humans might love Twilight, different's hate it. As lengthy because it made any person, someplace get the ones chills and goosebumps, it is regarded a well booklet in my head. Well-written does not neccessarily imply it has to have colossal vocab and such a lot of main points you do not even realize what is going down, to me it simply implies that the creator is aware of what she or he is doing with their tale. Oh good, I'm rambling, so I'll quit. But very nearly, a well booklet has to seize you through the hair and throw you into a global you on no account knew existed and go away you awe-struck and confused whilst it is over.

You need to first understand the foundations of "story." You need to know about plot, character development, story structure, theme, etc. Read a lot (especially the genre that you're interested in). Find out about creative writing workshops, local writer's associations, etc. that are in your town and take advantage of them (network). And write...alot. If you think you're ready to publish, find a reputable agent. The Writers Market book is a good resource. Also, the best book I have ever read on writing was entitled Writing Short Films by Linda Cowgill. Any kind of aspiring writer (no matter what medium or genre) should read this book. Linda even has a website. I listed it below.
Good luck!

Just write, brainstorm, come up with something which appeals to you on a personal level as a reader. If you love romance books, then study your most favorite authors and learn from them.
Learn how they write, communicate to the reader, and portray their characters.
But don't be in a rush to write well. Just *write*. Many new writers go off without having a clue, and that usually hinders more than it helps.

Focus more on improving your writing before setting your sites on a lofty goal of publishing a novel. Start with short stories, take some creative writing classes, keep a journal. Writing improves with time and practice. You're not ready for something so big and overwhelming as writing a book. Start small, work your way up to it. First see if you even enjoy writing and if you possess the creativity and inspiration to come up with your own ideas.
Good luck.

Honestly, if you have no more imagination than this (you don't know where to begin, cannot think up ideas, or names, etc.), I would skip the whole thing. If I were you, I would work on spelling and grammar, because at your current level (to wit: I want it to go out for my boyfriend, to show him I love him), you need a lot of improvement in that area. You don't write a book to show someone you love them. You write it because you feel you have something that needs to be communicated to the world at large. Write your boyfriend a love note, and that should suffice.

Learn to recognize the truth. Your writing skills are a bit raw. You really need to produce writing with perfect spelling and grammar. And that is just 10% of what is required. Try reading the book "The first five pages" by Noah Lukeman. It will give you an excellent overview on that first book.
