Not too be pulished by publisher yet!

Unfortunately I did not get published in an anthology competition I entered. However I won't give up, after all what do you achieve by giving up? If I don't find any more publishers for my short story by 1st July 2008, it will be posted here automatically.

This is a crazy post because I'm setting sonmething up. A new template in fact. I'm also hoping to start a big ad campaign soon. I'm thinking something like...........er...............tell you tomorrow morning.

Hopping about?

If I were to write a story about rabbits it would probably be rubbish. That because to write a story I need to get an idea of the characters, places and sometimes even the technology. Rabbits probably don't have very much technology. A rabbit on a laptop computer would be quite humorous but also not very realistic. A rabbit spends most of it days underground and hops around a lot, both are inaccessible to me.

So instead I write stories that involve humans, and technology. Much easier to write.

Knowledge is power?

That real is a difficult one, because sometimes knowledge helps when writing. An example would be for one of my novels I need knowledge of the cold war. But nine times out of ten it's not a great idea to have knowledge of your novel, because your probably still working on two or three. If you have a clear idea of the way in with event take place that's fine, it the getting there that the new exciting bit.

Creating Childrens Novels

Ideas



The best way to create novels is to start with an idea. Then develop that idea and form an outline for a story. Most authors write their ideas down in notebooks, I use either a private blog or a word processer. Many ideas develep in peoples heads, but selecting the right ones is sometimes a problem. I find it easier to work on more than one novel at a time. Currently I have seven on the go.



More soon from me.
