Writing Ideas- Activities For Your Book

     Small things do make a difference.  Don't forget to make small impressions in your book.  Sometimes, these small impressions help to bring us into the book, while the large impressions carry out the story.  If you want your reader to be partial to your material, then don't forget them.

     An example would be Tom drinking a cup of coffee.  You may describe the cup of coffee, but most of the time there is no need to, it just adds an extra sense to the story.  I for one never cease to be adulated by the precious "cup of coffee".  It never gets old!  I already have a picture, taste and smell in my mind and I think everyone else does too.

     Making a list of these small adorations can help.

The Power To Write- Get Inspired

     Inspiration can be many things.  Inspiration can come from a few words that you write on paper, an exercise that you do, pictures that you look at, or going outside and taking a breath of fresh air.  Whatever you do, always inspire yourself to do good.


     I like to write down what I learned through an experience or trial in my life.  Looking at what I have overcome and grown into breaks the tension holding me back.  I quote myself in a few words, like "You owe yourself."


     Quoting your favorite character, favorite author, book, song, or even a definition, can spark the desire in your heart.  Everyone has something to say; how you say it is what counts, in literature.  Picture that camera filming your book and see if your readers appreciate your poor handling of the equipment as the screen shakes in front of them, making them dizzy.


     Power- the production of intended effects. 

What Inspires the Writer in Me- Comedy Genres

When I think of a nice plot and find some humor in it, I am inspired to make it into a comedy story.  A nice plot, whether it has action, horror, or romance in it, makes a great story when humor is added.  I like how the story Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter mixes comedy with the detailed history of Abraham Lincoln.  I like to think of a nice story that I am familiar with.  Then I like to add some humor to it!  This is the best part for me!  I like to develop a new story out of my oh so familiar one with something no one would have guessed would be included in the plot I have created.  I am inspired to think of the obvious, then think of the not so obvious, that is sort of comical when you think of the two together.  That is fun to me! 

Romance Books Make the Best Movies

The most touching romance stories start with novels.  I am not sure wich one is more popular; novels or movies.  Either way the great stories start with the book!  Twilight is one of the popular movies right now.  It is based on the book by Stephenie Meyer.  Of course many have heard of the Notebook, based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.  Gone with the Wind is another movie based on the book by Margaret Mitchell.  One of my favorites is Confessions of A Shopaholic.  There many more movies to be made!  I have a lot of books on my list that I would like to see to be made into movies!

What Inspires the Writer in Me- Science Fiction Genres

 Science fiction makes one of the most exciting plots that can be interchanged with many other genres.  I love to write science fiction and read it!  With science fiction you can explore all of the possible unknowns out there.  You can make a great "what if kind of a story."  I am inspired every day to write science fiction just by asking these questions.  This really inspires me when I come up with a really good question.  A book with a good question like this one is a really good story to me!  It does help to know about science to come up with these questions, but I have come up with some great questions for my plot just by looking at the nature in my own backyard!  One of the most inspiring things in writing my book is when I come up with an answer to my question.  Writers always think of the unthinkable, that's why they have awesome books!

Children's Books Make the Best Movies

When I think back to all of my entertainment as a kid, I remember all of the classic movies that I watched.  Recently, I have come across a lot of movies that I have seen as a child that I had no idea were based on books!  Some of my favorites are Jumanji, The Rescuers Down Under, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.  One Hundred and One Dalmatians was written by Dodie Smith, Homeward Bound was written by Sheila Burnford, The Rescuers Down Under is by Margery Sharp, and Jumanji is based off the book by Chris Van Allsburg.  All of these movies I watched time and time again when I was a kid.  Some more recent movies based on books are Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of GaHoole based on the book by Kathryn Lasky and How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell.  I am sure these are classics for children today!
