  • Writing for a Creative Writing class in New Zealand... 10,000 words for me don't come easy for me, but your ideas and supportive advice is giving me motivation and direction. Cheers Laura

  • so thats what im doing, composting. ive been creating a story in my head for about 4 months now, and lately it seems to be all i think about , so i have decided to start writing things down.Im thinking of going to a creative writing class as getting it all out of my head and on

    to paper is much harder than i thought.

  • Thank you for posting these!

    You made it clear that you think that outlining or 'blueprinting' is key to writing a good novel, but why should you do it if the plan is all in your head? I had an outline for my first book, but for the second I don't and I'm not having any problems.

  • not helping at all just hearing stupid scienticfic crap.Just tell me what I need,I like the howcast 1 better

  • I like you so much

  • Laura from youngwriters you are very pretty .I bet you arent even aware of it.

  • Hi there. Thanks for these steps. I myself is trying to become a Science Fiction Novelist and you just made it a lot easier now for me to know what to do when writing one. By the way. I have bad grammar at times and how will I tell if its bad grammar or not. Other then that thanks.
