The Start

I find that you always start out with zilch,













You don't have any ancestry for your story, and don't know how to expatiate. But, maybe you need to start out wtih a line, or a diacritic.



Afterwards you think about what you need. What you want. I read a biography on David Edding once. He said, "All great stories need an object to chase after."



Maybe it's a ring, a bottle, a match box, a boyfriend, but you always need something to chase after, and now you have adventure of chasing an object. You can a anecdote about that object as well. Maybe a Mcguffin.

I started writting my story, the first edition, about a young man buying something from ebay, and chasing it down. But, what would he want to buy off ebay? A book? A ring? Or maybe something cool like a wizard hat? Now I have my magical objected; however, what would happen if that object had something else in it, or something erroneous Like most ebay items that you buy something very wrong could have happened. A person could try to find out why or how this happend, and you need a guide to help this person along the way; a teacher.

This is Lute.


Lute is the most influential person, and is a great part in my story. She is the raccoon the resides in the brown wizard hat that the adventures in my story requires through special means. She is a women, or raccoon, of great intellgence, and guides the heroes through their jounery. Remeber, writing a book is an adventure, and you need help. You can not just write by yourself, you need aid from other souces. A English teacher, Authors, your boss, a friend, a family mumber, and other such sources are key to write a succesful book. Writing a book it not  just about you, but everyone around you. Do not hid your story under your bed! Share it, and grow from that information you gathred. That is your start. 

Side Note. Every month I am growing to draw a charctor form my story, and draw out some insperation from that chararctor to share with you. I hope this will help you with your own writing someday.
