Random Ideas pop into my head

So I was pacing (an activity I usually do) and I imagined fighting some great evil with my favorite book characters. What if I could make a image of a person in a book that could talk to me and touchable (not in a weird way). What if I was a book character? What if I was a forgotten book character?? OMG that would be a great book!! I should write that!

That is how great ideas are born but I'm a bit worried someone already came up with it.... Which is a common thought in my head when writing any story. Luckily you can reassure yourself that your ideas might be similar to someone else but will always be different. Another worry of any writer is that his or her story will never be read. This is why I feel it is a good story. I might start writing it later but I am focusing on my other story currently.

I would like to say that it is still important to write the idea around somewhere. I usually hide it on top of a notebook or on a sticky note on the next month of my calender. That way the inspiration is as spontaneous as it was before.

Comments Back

I just got my notebook back from my Young Adult Lit. class and they were all positive. It is really great to get all this encouragement to write this silly book.

Tips for today!
1. Make sure to have people read your stuff!! Even if it's just reading it to someone else, get an opinion on it! My current roommate has background in the medical field and it helps a lot for what I want to do with my book. I also have a friend who is really into editing papers.... It's cruel what she does to my story but it helps.

2. There is no set way to write a story! Try writing it out of order or try writing all the very climatic scene. Fill in the translations later, just get what you really want down before you forget.... or some idiot smokes in your hall and makes the fire alarms go off..... I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU!!!!!

That's all for today.
