My Inspirational Novel

Authors Guild · Feb 26, 2007

Well I was sitting in ceramics in School one day talking to my best friend about relationships and how him and his girl firend where going, then it hit me, I wanted to write a novel on relationships and Inspiration, yes I know theses types of novels and books have been drug through the mud tons of times with Chicken Soup....ect, but I wanted to try.

Does anyone have any suggestions where to start?

I guess it depends whether or not you're aiming for publication. If so, you'll want to look for something that sets your book apart from all the others out there.

And either way - you'll probably want to do some background research. Check out the library for books on relationships.

By the way, do you mean to write something fictional or non-fiction? If the latter, you might get more answers in the non-fiction forum.

It would be non-fiction, Considering it would be about relationships and insperation, but thanks I'm having ideas run out of my mind as I type this I'm going to go write some things down so I don't forget.

yes I'am aiming for publication, that would take the fun out of the whole thing. but yes it would just be fun to write agian.

Here is somthing I got down on paper not much but it is a start-

Chapter 1
“Life”

“Nothing in life is for certain so live life like there is nothing to lose.”

What is life some people would ask? What brings us from fiction to reality? What is the meaning of life? Well in this Chapter I shall try to answer theses common questions that most everyone once in there life asks someone. But has it ever been answered well the answer is no; why because then you would not be reading this book or even this chapter. Remember life can make us mad, sad, and happy.

Life is defined as-“The experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities”

You may want to check out the Non-fiction section of the forum first. For a non-fiction book I suggest you write down in an outline of some sort the subtopics or stories. That way you don't lose your train of thought. Then begin working on them one at a time until you have your first draft of all the stories. Once you have your stories down then go back and do a commentary so you are talking about what each story demonstrates. If you have it in your mind what you want to say while you are writing out the story then go ahead..whatever works for you. But definately have some sort of an outline for this kind of venture

good luck
