Have you ever tried to write a novel?

There are stories all around, just grab one and write it out. A lot of my ideas come from dreams, and life experience. Write down your life story and add the elements to make it enjoyable for all readers. You may have to write it out how you wished things happened or make certain things seem bigger than they really are, but thats what makes a good writer, creating a great story out of the most basic details.

You need to try to write again. I've been writing since I was a kid. I made some stories (we can say they're novels because they're quite long. Unfortunately, there are some lack in my writing. I'm doing it just for my hobby though. You too, don't need to rush, let it just flow. Look around and maybe you'll get an idea to write.

Yes I have and I am in the middle of revision and hoping to submit it soon. I don't have a problem with a story line, I usually look at people and events around me and I of course change what happens to make it more interesting and the best part is when some crazy idea hits me, and I add it. If you have even a little bit, I suggest you just write and keep writing, forget about grammar and spelling or if what you write is clear, those are details you work out in the revision.

I think the only thing you need to know now is to start. What is really important is the passion to do it. I believe with the way you are saying right now, you have it. So start it out and I'm sure everything will flow as you continue. A Chinese philosoper alway said, a journey to a thousand miles, begins with a single step. Perhaps all it takes is that single step...

I attempt NaNoWriMo every year, and occasionally try JulNoWriMo too. I've never actually finished one though....I lack follow though. I can often thing of great (to me) concepts for a novel, but I can't think of the major plot points to push the story forward.

I am very lazy to write so that i never have a dream or try to write a novel... It takes a long time to write, revise...novels before we can read it. Many people have talent in writing novels, i admire greatly them...

I'm currently trying to write a novel of my own, and I can certainly understand how difficult it can be. However, I still think that you should try to write a book, or something, if it's really something that you want to do.

You know, for me coming up with a story and a full timeline was never very difficult. I've been writing long manuscripts since I was 12. Finishing a draft is really easy for me, but polishing and editing tend to really bore me. I'm a huge reader, always have been, and I've loved writing almost as long. I like to write YA fantasy, probably because that's what I typically read. I love stories about good vs. evil battles and epic quests to save an imaginary world.

I wrote a little story when I was young about dolphins I think, I was 10-11 something like that and my parents were bugging me because some genius kid in my country appeared on TV an started saying that he thinks all kids should have hobbies like writing, painting, and other stuff. So I got mad and I got busy :D. I wasn't long, I don't even remember if I showed it to my parents. After a while I threw it out. I was satisfied that I did it. It was just to make a point, for myself I think more than for my parents. Anyway, last year I wanted to read a fantasy book, and I couldn't find one. A thought came to my mind: "Why don't I write a book I would like to read ?" And without time to convince myself with 1000 reasons that it's not a good idea I started. I had something in mind, I changed it while I was writing, and now it's almost finished. In the meantime I found a publisher who said that after he reads he will publish it( and I'll make sure the book will be worthy enough). It's very exciting, I really like writing, it's fun, it's like reading a story in my head, imagining what will happen next, imagining the scene and then trying to describe it as thorough as possible. I read some book in my life but not that many, can't say I have a brilliant vocabulary, but word I may have only read once in my life just pop in my head when I need them, I also learned how to write properly a lot of words. I don't think people lack imagination when it comes to writing, I think they lack discipline, at least I am, sometimes I struggle with myself to sit down on my chair and start writing and once I do, not a single time was I unhappy that I did. My advice, think of something you would like to read about and start, don't wait until you have the whole story prepared in your had because that way you will never begin you novel. A little thinking, a lot of action. My English teacher had a saying: When you want to do something you are proud of you need 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. I still think she was right. I hope you find it in you to start writing you novel, I'm sure you'll like it. Good luck !

I started at the age of twelve. I'm a novelist now with ten books published. You just write and write and don't spend so much time thinking. Write. Persevere. Rewrite. Edit. More editing. Publish!

I did, way back in college, it was quite a true story, a love story to be exact.I update it evry other daym I posted it in my multiply account. And to my surprise I had few followers. Ahahaha,it was fun and overwhelming that others are enjoying what they read and kept on asking on what happens next. ahahaha.

once i tried it but lack of patience i can't complete it.but i have dream to write a romantic novel.

I've written hundred page or so stories all my life just for fun because I love writing.

No and in my own opinion, I don't really want to.

I have started a novel, but I haven't been able to get very far with it at the moment. I have all of the main characters sorted out, and most of the plot, but I have only been able to write 1,100 words of it, because I just don't have the time now that I am working to be able to sit there and get the words down on paper. I am going to try and write for at least one hour each evening next month, and I will try to cut back on the amount of money that I'm spending just so that it doesn't matter if I can't earn quite as much while I am dedicating a little bit of time to my writing.

My older brother tried to write a novel once...it was a brilliant piece when it started. Unfortunately, he got tired with it and discontinued writing. I think he still has it on gbatemp.net ...I dunno.

I tired to write a book in 7th grade, but i didnt do so well. I would love to try again though, i have a great idea for a book as well but, i just dont know even if i wrote it what would i do, I dont have money for a publisher and my spelling and grammer is awful.

I also tried to write one in my teens, although I have already a plot in mind I gave up writing it because I kinda felt lazy even if I'm just in the introduction. ^^; I just realized that when I try to write the story I tend to get off track and story line would change drastically compared to what I really had in mind. Another thing that also hindered me from writing it was, I didn't had enough resource materials. You can't possibly write something about things you don't even know very well or never experienced first hand right? So I think I still lack those and only when the time have come that I would procrastinate no more, and when I had the patience and eagerness to do much researches, I guess that day will be the day I would start writing a novel. ^^

I really think you should go for it. I too have had a dream of being a famous author one day. I didnt have the problem of what to write about, but where to start as far as the book process. So i figured if it was something i wanted to do, i had to go for it. So i looked up online sites that dealt with publishing. so if you need any pointers on that, let me know. but as far as the writers block, what i do, i listen to other people drama, or things i have experienced in life, and then put it in my own words. Writing about things you already know, you cant go wrong. So just brain storm one day, and write down all the experiences you encountered and i guarantee, you will have that novel in no time! See ya at the book fair! lol
