Hi, I'd like to write a book, but I don't know how or where to go about it. I often have good ideas floating around in my head that I could include. But I can't come up with a whole story or write down bullet points because I simply have no idea how to go about it. Does anyone have any tips? Maybe someone who writes books or wants to write them will respond.

It should be a name that fits into a fantasy story, but one that takes place in the real world. Something with night, light, hope, or death would be nice.
Hello! I'm looking for names for a Siberian tiger. I'm writing a book and don't have a name for the tiger…
Hello, I'm currently writing a fantasy book and still need a name. The main character's name is crucial. She's 16 years old, loves to write, and is a bit unusual. It shouldn't be difficult to come up with a name, but it should still be rare and English, since the story takes place in Scotland….
Could you help me write a more descriptive summary/annotation so that more readers will read the story? Or are there other methods to reach more readers? I don't think it's the stories themselves, because I've actually received a lot of praise for them on other sites (even if they're not perfect; the Christmas story, in…
Hello everyone again, about my book. I've imagined a kind of ice monster that's slender and has very long claws on its hands. It walks on two legs and is intelligent. They're very important in my book and very dangerous. Does anyone have any ideas what I could call this kind of monster? Thank you
Hello Vaarso,
beautiful that you want to write a book. But this is a huge project. A thick book á Harry Potter needs to write many hours a day (so as a profession) round about a year. If you only write a few hours a hobby every few days, this is a project for many years.
Of course there are also much narrower books, but also these are not written as a hobby author in a few months. So you should write because it’s really fun, not because it’s cool to write a book.
You can also try out significantly shorter projects in short stories.
You’re still reading and you’re not scared yet? Then maybe it’ll fit. But if you realize that it is a long project, you should also be aware that planning and structure are necessary so that the whole thing does not run out of the row.
The simplest and quite “fail proof” is the story of heroes. She always works and she is always exciting. Infinitely many cinema films and series are filmed according to the principle and much more written stories (already from ancient Greece, such as the golden tile) are built up. Google once after “Heldengeschichte”.
I find myself constricted. The story succeeds, but somehow you have the feeling that you have read or seen something like that. That’s why I prefer the “Schneeflocken method”. It means much more overhead. You have to invest a lot of time before you really start writing. I mean more direction 20% of the time or more, so for a thick ham than a professional author (more hours a day) a few months. Rowling wrote her Harry Potter books on this principle. It is a great method, but for once try to write a book likely to shoot massively with cannons to sparrows. Do you really want to sit on the preliminary work for a year as a hobby author and then write the book in the next few years? I did this (a few years I almost did not write) and I finished after 1 1/2 decades.
So if you just want to do something cool, learn piano games – this goes far faster than writing a good and extensive book. But if you can’t change because there’s a story in you that wants to get out of you, then read yourself into the possibilities. Make yourself smart, choose one of the mentioned “help methods”, adapt them to your concerns (they are only helpers and no self-interest). And then a lot of fun. Because that’s what it must be. Reich is almost no one by writing.
There are really many guides on creative writing. It is really advisable to do these “homeworks”. You wouldn’t come up with the idea of hitting a stone block without knowing how to make a statue, would you?
so if you can’t even write down sting points… That should be done after every good idea and after dreaming in the morning
Sheet paper+ pen. Keep it simple 🤷🏻
Or just a Word document in the phone/on the PC.
There are also many pages on the Internet that give a variety of tips in hand, which is the writing of a story/manuscript (a book may be published later. Before it is, you write texts!)
And some library also has books that can learn from.
Dei Problem is
You write because a story doesn’t want to get out of your head, but you don’t write because you want to write.
