Forum How do writers start thei Book?

We all start from scratch, but this is normal. As writers we all begin from gathering ideas around us from which we would build a great story. This story should provide readers’ entertainment, it will catch their interest and that it will evoke emotions.  You should think of an idea that you believe you will not get tired of developing, because in writing it is not enough to write, editing is part of it.   

There is a philosophy that stories could be found anywhere. It could be from your own experiences or from others. Your life experiences, family, friends, colleagues and neighbors are all up for grabs to serve as your inspiration in writing.

Below are the 9 top sources of inspiration. I am sure that we share at least two or more of them. 

1.      Your experiences

2.      Family

3.      Friends

4.      The Neighborhood

5.      True Life Stories

6.      Dreams

7.      Media

8.      Gossip

9.      Sensations

Keeping your own lists of inspiration will help you to create a lot of ideas in starting your story. Also by connecting those you may build a unique book. Stay inspired, so that you would end up putting your books to different book stand.
