Question: Have you ever written a book before!? what inspirerd you!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes, I'm 13 and I wrote a novel about a year ago!.
What inspired me was the problems in my own life, I was feeling so much pain and despair, and I found the best way to deal with it was to channel it into my own writing!.

I wrote about a girl with different problems to mine, but they were at the same time, extraordinarily similar to my own life!. If that makes any sense!. I found refuge it it, even though she wasn't real, she stepped out of the page and it lifted my spirits a lot, because I felt I wasn't alone in the world with my problems!. Even though she was a fictional character, etc!. Here's a link to the story, if you'd like to read it!. http://uk!.answers!.yahoo!.com/question/ind!.!.!.

I just love writing, you can escape into your imagination and forget reality, even though it may just be for that short time while you are scribbling in your notebook or typing into your computer!.

Writing is amazing and more teenagers should get interested in it!.

Have a great day!.

When I was a kid, I used to love 'car' shows on T!.V!.- Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard etc!. Anything with a car chase! My dad was worried by this obsession and always tried to tell me that cars couldn't do those kind of stunts in real life!. He would sombrely intone 'Cars don't jump!.'

In the past three years, I wrote four novels, none of which were particularly good!. Then I got to thinking about what my dad had said and wrote ten thousand words where a high-speed police pursuit ends in tragedy!. I knew that the writing was good- better than anything I had done before!. I spent nearly another year finishing off the novel, got very lucky and found a publisher, and it comes out next year!.

My follow-up book is about a lap-dancer who gets sexually assaulted by one of her clients!. She kicks the hell out of him, but when his body is found dumped in a bin behind the club a few hours later, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder investigation !. !. !.

My story ideas are purely the result of me asking 'what would happen if this happened!?', and then 'what would happen if this happened!?' and building the story one question at a time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends on what kind of book you want!.
for fantasy or fiction, i would just let my imagination soar!.!.!.!.or find a story starter on the internet!. for a nonfiction book, i base my ideas on personal experiences, songs, or the experiences of others!. for a memoir, you could just talk about memorable stuff!.!.!.!.!.reflective things!. it depends on what kind of material you are trying to put out there!. to try too hard to think about it, though!. it will be harder to think up stuff; trust, i know from experience!.
