Novel Writing Prompts

Gordon Said:

If someones novel includes a writing prompt found on the Internet is this considered plagiarism?

We Answered:

No.

A prompt is *intended* to be used for inspiration, and in any case, ideas, and even whole plots, are not under copyright anyway.

Theresa Said:

National Novel Writing Month?

We Answered:

You don't need to write your 'novel' in a linear fashion, you can start at the end, or in the middle if you want. DON'T stop to edit your work at all during the NaNoWriMo, if you do that you could get so caught up in editting that you forget to move on forward. The purpose on the month is to get out a first draft. If you're uninspired I'd suggest that you consider creating 2-3 characters first, and then throwing them into proximity and see what the result is.

Theresa Said:

writing prompts for novels?

We Answered:

As long as you love writing, it doesn't matter. If you're really meant to be an author, you'll come up with an amazing idea that'll get you published and recognized. I have some good ideas, but they're MINE and I'm saving them. Not because I want them into a book, but because they need to be special. They need to be MINE. I want to be the one that makes them exist outside of my head, the one that brings them to life.

What I suggest you do is spend some time to get your mind going in a creative gear. Look at things in a new way; ask yourself, "What if _____ happened?"

Take a notebook and a pen EVERYWHERE. When your muse hits you, write it down and roll with it.

Douglas Said:

Does Creative writing help with with writing a novel.?

We Answered:

No duh! I know that makes me sound like a kid, but OF COURSE! If its all plain, have fun trying to get your novel published. Work hard and write when you want to otherwise your story won't be great. Novels are great when people can relate to them, and when your writing for a certain age group. I hope your creative writing helps! Good luck!!
