How do I find a book whose author and title I don't know, but can only describe?
Isn't it annoying when that happens?Besides the suggestions given by other responders, I'd like to suggest "What's that book" communities where other readers help to identify books based on your description. There are several I know of, I suggest browsing through them to see which one is most responsive for your genre of book and looks like it will work for you (registration is required for at least the first three):What's the name of that book? on GoodreadsWhat's that book called? on RedditWhat was that book? on LiveJournalWhat's that book? is a whole website devoted to such queries, but I couldn't get it to load past the main page, maybe you'll have better luck!
Plot of the book Bad Girls Don't Die?
So, I was thinking about reading the book Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender, but I don't know if I would like it. Can someone tell me the plot, with a lot of detail (I mean a LOT of detail). Thanks in advance!
I don't know which story/plot to write next!! >.
Additional - I am sorry if I have any spelling errors, but this was just quickly typed up. Trying to narrow down three plots is very hard and I just streamed long winded words together to try and fit it all in. This is NOT a reflection of my creative writing.
I want to write a fantasy story, but I don't know it's plot. Should I just start writing without knowing the plot or should I write it bit by bit?
Either route will get you to the same destination fairly similarly. Start by describing a world, a region, or a village in quite a bit of detail. Then, do the same with a few characters. It is safe to assume that there will be some sort of hero. This doesn’t have to be a character who perfectly fits the mold of a hero. In fact, it is better to create a character who has a lot of growing/maturing to do before they actually become a hero.Once you have loosely generated a setting and a character or two, you can begin to form a plot around them. It helps to have already thought up your antagonist at this point, so that you can begin to create a conflict through this character. Basically, start slow. What would you do if you were suddenly transported to this place? How would you react if you were confronted by your antagonist? Chances are, if you’re a long-time fan of the genre, then you have likely thought about what you would do if Legolas Greenleaf needed your help, or Kvothe Kingkiller asked you to accompany him on the stage.Use what you know. Have fun with it, and absolutely start without knowing what the ultimate plot is going to be! As you spend time outlining the logistical aspects of your story, the plot will begin to surface organically. Make connections between your characters, and remember to draw from your experiences and reality. Good luck!
Twilight Book. Plot line?
Twilight has no plot. If you mean the pseudo-"plot" that was rolling around in the hay with proper syntax until page 400, then: Exposition: When Edward talks about other vampires and such. Rising action: James wants to hunt Bella because she's an extra speshul snowflake (read Mary Sue). Climax: Bella, being the dumb person she is, goes to meet James at the dance studio Falling Action: Cullen family shows up to save the day. Edward sucks the venom out of Bella so she doesn't become a vampire. Resolution: Bella goes back to exactly how she was before James wanted to kill her. She wants Edward to turn her into a vampire so she can sparkle like the Cullens.
I want to write a book, but I don't have any ideas and I don't even know where to start! Any advice for a rising HS senior?
The best way to get ideas is to collect bits of inspiration. Many writers keep a file, a box, or even an Evernote notebook full of things they find interesting or inspiring. Read the news and find stories that are compelling, or articles that describe fascinating things-- history, or technology, or ideas-- you're sure to find something that strikes your fancy. Hold on to all of that. It has a way of percolating in your head and becoming a germ for a story. This is why as a writer it is very important to read widely-- not only to learn from fellow writers, but also to gather new material that can turn into a new idea. The other suggestion I have is to write what you want to read. If you find yourself wishing there was a certain story, or type of book, then start working on writing that book.The third suggestion is to document your own life. Journaling is an easy way to write daily and writing about the minutiae of daily life means you'll never run out of material. It also can put you into the discipline of writing every day, which helps out later when you stumble onto writer's block!Finally, there are plenty of prompts and ideas that are up for grabs-- check out Nanowrimo's forums-- lots of plot bunnies others have put up hoping to see writers take them and turn them into the stories. If you have no ideas of your own, you can take that plot germ and make it grow.
