“If you’re looking for help creating convincing characters, bleeding words onto the page, and editing your work, then you’ll need a different set of instructions: We’re not going to cover the whole process of writing a book from scratch.

Buying an eBook is not serious as it looks, though writing, editing and formatting itself can take time. If you finally working to self publish your eBooks in various formats and searching for free eBook publishing program, then you may have dissatisfaction seeing the outcomes.” More…

Getting Your Readers Hooked with Your First Pages

Immediately put your story context in your readers’ mind. Paint the picture to start your story and how that picture effects the characters, then get your readers hooked as you move the story along beyond the opening scene. Will your readers become fascinated in the beginning or walk away and put your book down? Get your readers hooked after the first few pages and move on.

Start With The Senses

“Some stories grab hold of us and just don’t let go. We laugh and cry and our palms get sweaty and we feel as if we’re living these stories. These are the ones that become our favorites. Sometimes we don’t like the endings. They may even make us angry, but we still end up loving them anyway. More…

What Makes These Stories So Lovable?

“They put us right in the thick of the story. We feel like we’re living these stories because the author has taken steps to make sure we’re fully captivated. We forget that it’s words on a page that another human being has written. We forget that hundreds of other people could be reading the story at that very moment. It’s our story. Just us and the characters and their world.
We’re all in. More…

Now, your readers are past your initial creative process of your characters. We then take your characters, dressed them up to be worth knowing and caring for. Show your characters worthiness and shove them up to your readers so they can judge if their story is worth pursuing.

This will keep you focused as you develop your story. How will one-character mesh with your other characters? Brainstorm these questions.

Getting to the Heart of Your Story: The Character Brainstorming Worksheet

“The most compelling stories, the ones we think about long after we close the book and the ones that people tell their friends about, use plot to push the characters to their limits–because that is where change occurs. Human beings are built to resist change. We’re comfortable with what we know, even if what we know is hurting us. In other words, we’re afraid of the unknown. Partly, that’s why we read, because we want to reduce the number of things that we don’t know by living vicariously through characters we care about who are pushed into solving unfamiliar problems that nevertheless having meaning in their own lives. Note that statement. Let’s break it down.” More…

“I honestly think brainstorming effectively is half the battle of writing a great novel. It’s a crucial skill and a hugely powerful technique for novelists, and has gotten me out of countless story-sinkholes over the years.” More…
