So I'm going to write a book
Ok so I have decided I am writing a book.
Where do I start?
What do I write about?
I spent a long time throwing ideas about in my head. What would people like to read, would I be able t o write what people wanted to read and then it came to me - a revelation.
If I tried to write what I thought people would want to read and my heart wasn't in it, so I was straining to actually get anything down on paper, that would be clear in the book. As a result of that logic the decision was made to write a book that "I" would want to read. By doing that the words would flow, the story would flow and the resultant book would be a good read.
What do I want to write about?
Well I like Time Travel, Space Travel, Young adult fiction (Hunger Games, Maze runner etc.) Ok there are a lot of people raising an eyebrow right now but you know you secretly love it too.
So I set about creating a character and basic plot.
