Updates :)

Hey!! Sorry i have kind of been lazy with my grammer and spelling and stuff, but i will try to get back on track :)

I have decided to help you guys out there that want to write a book (weather it is a children's book or a novel these steps will work for you) So, I will share my steps with you.

First of all, I came up with one main idea. No characters or anything yet, just a simple idea. A problem and how it was solved. Then I started to write paragraphs on each chapter. This was the format that i have used so far:

IDEA (about one paragraph):
CHAPTERS:
CH.1- (about one paragraph)
CH.2- (same as above)
and so on with the rest of the chapters.

After i came up with my main idea for each chapter then i came up with my characters. If you can't come up with names for your characters then just go on google and look up "character names generator" that usually gets you some good names. I will post some links to websites that i use :)

Then you choose which characters are your main characters and describe them in a lot of detail. You have to have their fears, hair color, eye color, lip shape and color, height, weight, personality, everything about them. DO NOT i repeat DO NOT make them perfect. They have to have faults or no one will be able to connect to them in any way. Then you have to describe your minor characters in not as much detail, just their hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, and a little bit about their personality.

Now, you write your first chapter. Only write the first chapter. Then go and take a break. Later in the day or the next day go back to the chapter and re read it. If you like it, leave it. If there are any problems with it, edit it.

Keep a little note book with you all day everyday so if you have any ideas during the day, write them down :)

Now, if i come up with any more tips or steps, i will let you know. But now you can write your chapters as you wish. Before you start writing again at a different time, edit what you wrote before, that way everything flows and your creative juices start flowing again :)

Hope i helped with writing your book :) I will post a little bit more now that i can post again :) i have missed it a lot actually.

Oh and more news.... I haven't written a lot in my book, just the first chapter and a little bit in the second chapter. I'm not sure if i should post the first chapter. Comment and let me know if i should. Also, please tell your friends about my blog :) I would love to get some new viewers.... But i guess i just have to be patient :)

Well, that's all for now. Until next time :)
