I’m trying to create a new story. Which idea sounds better?
Maybe something to consider is whether you want to write a mystery novel - which might be what you find with the detective - or whether you want it to be more of a romance, which might be the direction that the perfect person angle would give.So I’d ponder which genre - and which audience - you’re most interested in.
Which of these story ideas sounds the best for teenage girls 13-17?
Number One is not the perfect romance story that wasn't what I was aiming for. Adam's family is very complicated and he's living a life he doesn't really want to. Eve is intrigued by him as her own father had a very similar upbringing but as he died when she was only young and her mother isn't always up for talking about it she wants to learn more about this lifestyle. She sees Adam as a way to get to know her father life but ends up getting into something messy and complicated, something that isn't normal and is a little crazy. It presents the question does she love him or is he just something different that's come along that takes her to her past and is it really him who relies on her as. His father has many younger girlfriends, he has a younger half sister who's split between two houses and his mother died when he was very young. She'll meet up with his friends and it'll all be so knew to her, but she's stuck in something she can't get out of. Maybe it'll work out or maybe he'll wo
Does my story idea sound too much like Harry Potter?
The "realm" behind this door is very dangerous, however. Inside, Asis finds a mysterious weapon that has the ability to reap the magic from other magicians, thus enhancing his own. He uses it to solidify his position of power and maintain order. Years later, upon his death, he splits the weapon into four Fragments and grants one to each of his children. One of them, Mercer, has radically different views from the rest; he believes they should use their power to rise up against the Expires and punish them the way they were (Suspected magicians were burned, executed, experimented on, shamed and forced into hiding, etc) When he won't give up the idea and his siblings find he has been experimenting with dark magic, he is removed from power and exiled from the town. By this point, Incantor is beginning to struggle; the three rulers are only young adults anyways, but Incantor's position is beginning to slip. With the Other Realm stripped of resources and other "safe
Does this story idea about twins sound trippy?
The story idea is this: There are twin sisters, one is Phoebe and the other is Sophie. Phoebe is more business-oriented and likes to watch news on television and her hobbies include needlepoint. She wears her shirts always tucked in. Sophie is more artistic-oriented and likes to go to plays and watch history specials on public television and her hobbies include playing guitar. She wears her shirts untucked. Other than the tucked/untucked difference, they wear the same types of outfits. It is their last day in town before they move out-of-state. There is a party in their favor. Phoebe comes in first. She is wearing a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt tucked into blue jeans. A friend named Ron walks towards her and talks about the news. They carry on a conversation. However, Sophie now enters and she's also wearing a yellow T-shirt tucked into blue jeans. Ron is confused because he now does not know if he was chatting with Phoebe or Sophie. He apologizes to Phoebe (or Sophie) if he mistook her for someone else. She (whoever she is) says it's okay. However, everyone else in the party are confused and wonder which sister is which. They then realize Phoebe and Sophie could have changed their styles so Phoebe went untucked while Sophie went tucked. They now are not sure which sister each had been talking to because they always identified them by their shirts and always "assumed" Phoebe wore tucked-in shirts and Sophie didn't. They feel guilty and do not want to admit they are now confused. Question: does this idea sound like a trippy story? If so (or not), what do you think of it?
Does this tattoo sound like a good idea?
I have no doubts about the tattoo I want, I've been wanting it for a while now. I want "♪Come away with me♪" on my inner wrist in the font Edwardian Script ITC (so if you have word..try that out). I'm just wondering what the general public thinks... no colors or anything, just that. The story behind it..My frist love. I fell deeply and madly in love with this girl who loved me back and our song was come away with me by norah jones. It's like my way of knowing she's always near me and never away from my heart. If you wanna know, We broke up and it sent me into spiriling depression for a few years...A day doesn't go by that my mind doesn't recall a precious memory we shared
What sounds better, a nymph or a werewolf?
Well, this question has been asked many times throughout the history of mankind - and there are a few solutions that I have found to be the most inspiring. I'll share these with you now: 1. Nymphs - any book on a beautiful girl will no doubt include the following characteristics in no specific order: boats, cigarettes, obscenely large hats, hallmark cards, a tango scene, too few chapters, and a kitchen. This makes for a great book - but it has also been written a million times by authors such as Penthouse, Hustler, and Playboy. There are more PG rated versions of this story told by others such as Roberts, Garwood, Howard, and Shakespeare to name but a few. 2. Werewolves - this genre is a much better selection for a book. I say this because werewolves have been given a lot of publicity but most of it falls into films. Books about werewolves? Are you kidding me? They were all lost in the Great Fire of 1657 along with the original copy of Encyclopedia Britanica. The reason no one has re-written any werewolf stories is because we don't really know much about them. They are a very particular race of people that keep to themselves and don't enjoy much company from others. They do, however, like to howl and enjoy romantic dinners under full moons. So have at it, I think this is an excellent choice. 3. Nymphomaniac Werewolves - This is a personal addition to the selection that I think will really bring together your choices. Synergy. If you know what I mean. Get a beautiful girl that happens to be a werewolf and enjoys bumpin' uglies with everyone. Perfect. With a lead role like that the plot won't even matter and the movie will be fantastic. Include a few gallons of blood, one moon, a dash of body hair and you got it made, pal. Just remember to make sure the book has pictures - because although that really insults us authors and demeans our writing it will add to your revenue and be kickass. Nothing sells like the picture of a hot naked werewolf gettin' down with the get-down.
I have my idea for a story but I'm not a good writer. Are there any tips I should take into consideration when writing?
Read books by celebrated, talented authors and take notes on their style. Take a writing class. Blake Charlton, a very talented author, recently started a writing workshop. I believe Stephen King has done a few seminars on how to write as well.Study grammar and language. It's difficult to follow the rules of your language if you don't know what they are.Join a website for writers, post frequently, accept constructive criticism, and read and critique other people's work.Most importantly - write frequently. It doesn't have to be good, and it doesn't have to a lot, but write every day if you can. Stephen King once said that if you can write 300 words a day, in a year you have your first draft of a full length novel. The more frequently you write, the more your writing style will evolve and the more comfortable you will be with your writing.
How can I make my story sound less cheesy?
Find Beta-Reader that will give you an honest opinion, and have them review it. Writing the way they feel about a section as they go through it. Review the answers. DO NOT TRY TO JUSTIFY. Accept that what they felt is what they felt. If you have good people, then their opinions are valid and you need to fix it where they find fault. Are your characters flat? Is the conflict real? Will the readers care about either? (Kathleen and Karen's answers covers some other great points.)
