Question: What do you think of my novel idea!?
i REALLY want to write a novel, i enjoy writing, but i can never think of original ideas, i can only get going once i have one!. anyway, i thought of a new idea, and i was wondering if this sounds familiar, and if not, are there any suggestions or endings that anybody has!?
a girl grows up with her mum who STRONGLY encourages mythical ideas and fantasies, so she grows up accustomed to it!. She grows an overactive imagination and by the age of eight, she sometimes saw little mythical creatures in the corner of her eye, or saw them clearly for brief moments, but they disappeared before she could talk to them (which she's dying to do)!. by ten, she could see them funcionally and have conversations with them!. as she grew older, the extent of creatures grew longer, and she could see all sorts of things, including humans, which would be strong, brave, beautiful and heroic like as if out of a fairy tale!. sometimes she wouldn't be able to tell which people were real or not!. when she's sixteen (when the book takes place) she is longing for love, as she as always heard and dreamed of these strong heroic men, but had never seen any real ones that fit her fantasy likings!. she has no friends, because everybody thinks she's weird because they always see her talking to herself, when really she could be talking to an imaginary dwarf!. One day, she meets this guy her age, who fits her fantasy desires perfectly! she is thrilled and falls deeply in love with him, as he falls deeply in love with her!. she later realises that her dream man is actually a figure of her imagination, but she gets over that, because whether he's real or not, the love and joy she gets from him is VERY real!.
that's it!. i wasn't too sure about what the complication might be (i have smaller complications like how she can't talk to him when people are around, because she doesn't want people to see that she STILL talks to imaginary things like when she did as a girl) maybe her imagination begins to fade, and he fades with it or something !.!.!.!.
sorry that this is like the longest thing ever but yeah, i had a lot of ideas!. please comment! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it and I don't!. It seems kind of sad to make the guy a figment of the girls Imagination, though it might make it more interesting!. It also seems sad that she spent her whole life in a dream world!. I don't know if this is been done (even if it has it doesn't mean it can't be done again in a different and better way), but maybe if you made the dream world real, like she had to believe enough for her dream guy and her magic world to exist, maybe she's magic and dreamt this world/universe right into existence!. The whole existence of this magical world could hinge on her imagination!. Maybe she gets put in the psych ward and given drugs and her memories of the place and her imagination starts to go away and start destroying the magical world!. Or the conflict could be does she listen to everyone else who tells her she nuts and the world isn't real or does she choose to believe in herself!. I don't know why I'm telling you this I should be writing this book myself! All I ask is that if you use my ideal and you become famous that you don't forget me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It's sounds like your main character needs to be on medication!.

How To Start Writing In Eight Seconds
There's no need for you to get writer's
block, ever again!. Ignite your
imagination with the technique I've
developed over the years!.
Go from a blank computer screen
to writing in less than eight seconds!.
There's no age limit to working my
simple technique!. Actually, it's fun!.
It works for me!. I don't experience
writer's block, and that alone is a
major motivator!.
"What's the technique!?" You stared
at the last line!.
Look around the room you're sitting
in!. In that room sits many writing
ideas!.
What did your eyes, first, land on!?
It will be what you start writing about!.
My eyes caught the bottle of hand
sanitizer!.
Now, if you're not comfortable with
writing about one object, pick
another one!.
Name the item!. Use the name of
it to begin the writing process!. Look
at the name inside out, upside down,
and side-ways!.
My word, hand sanitizer, can spin
into fiction or non-fiction!.
Let's look at it in fiction!.
"Look, a hand is at the window!"
Patty shouted!.
"Didn't see it, and it's not dark!?"
Rhonda stopped walking too!.
"No, I don't wanna go in that old
house!."
"We just left school, and she'll
pass the house!."
"Not goin' in there!." Patty walked
pass the house!.
The two, middle school age, girls
gathered a distance from the
abandoned house!.
"Not gonna take long," Rhonda
insisted!. "Only be in there a
few minutes!."
Patty glanced up at the house,
trembled!. "Somebody!.!.!."
I looked at hand upside down,
and my imagination came up
with the above!.
An essay on how restaurants
sanitize their kitchens would
be interesting!. Or, do restaurants
remind employees to wash their
hands after bathroom use!?
How is your writing idea working
out!? If one idea isn't working, try
the next one!.
It's helpful to pick more than one
object to write about!.
Hand sanitizer upside down!?
It's a health-care tool, cleaning
agent!.
I can write from the health care
angle!. There is no limit on
the writing ideas from one object!.
Write down what your object is,
does!.
Go from blank screen to writing in
eight seconds, or less!. Use
anything around you!.
Use this technique for any topic,
area of interest!.
In closing, my technique stops
writer's block, and keeps your
imagination popping out ideas
in less than eight seconds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I like it!. I saw a twilight zone episode once that you could use the plot for your ending!. It was about a woman who had the perfect life and then one day she starts seeing men in coats coming after her!. she wakes up in an alternate reality, which is suppose to be her real reality!. She is a patient in a psychiatric hospital!. Her perfect life was just a delusion she slips into when she goes into a coma!. at the end she grabs a needle full of a serum that will make her go back into a coma and she injects it into herself!. She is back in her perfect life like nothing ever happened!.
You could have your main character go to a psych ward where she finds a way to live in her fairytale world forever!.
Or she could slowly stop being real and become mythical herself, kinda like crossing over into the world of the dead, but only it would be the world fairytale!.
