Hi it's Peter here again coming up this
time on writers life how to turn your
ideas into stories there's nothing more
gratifying to a writer than when a
brilliant idea for a new story suddenly
gallops up and bursts into our
imagination that first spark of
inspiration where you think I'm really
on to something here and your heart
starts racing and your fingers start
itching to put pen to paper to make sure
you don't lose it is somewhat magical
indeed it's probably one of the most
exciting parts of the writing process
after all that's not to say it's all
downhill from here
but it is essential to recognize how to
translate these brilliant ideas into
stories that will work and perhaps even
more crucial to identify when that
brilliant idea you had just isn't going
to work and have the ability to let it
go so how do you kickstart the writing
process and turn ideas into stories here
are some useful tips first freely
brainstorm in the initial stages it's
crucial to have an anything-goes
attitude don't be too hard on yourself
from the outset or you might never feel
am able to flush out your ideas well
enough to make a start brainstorming is
a fantastic way to start exploring your
idea to delve a little deeper and to
begin to take shape as a story the more
you can write about it and the more
aspects you can get down the more
options you have remember it's important
not to hold back you might go off on a
few weird wonderful tangents but they
could lead to something brilliant and
next research proper research is
essential for any novel no matter what
you're writing about so whatever
kind of idea you have they'll always be
something you can do to investigating
further research can be incredibly
useful because not only are you learning
more about the topics you intend to
bring into your book and will therefore
be better at writing about them you also
might on earth
further nuggets of inspiration to
motivate your even more next clarify and
pin down your theme and the central idea
once you've finished brainstorming and
doing some initial research you should
now be able to sit down and pin put what
the ideas and themes that are going to
hold your novel together are the more
precisely you can define this the more
sturdy your idea will be without this
it's easy to lose focus and with it the
point of your novel so doing this in the
early stages can be very very helpful
next start to work on your characters a
great story only works with fantastic
characters that are exciting and
engaging from the outset before you
start to write your novel you need to
understand the main characters goals and
motivations how they might develop
throughout the story and what conflicts
and obstacles are going to get in their
way
a next start to incorporate subplots now
try to build upon your central Seamon
plot and start to weave in smaller side
stories or other ideas that complement
them your idea needs to have legs it
needs to be workable as a novel and that
means it needs to take a certain amount
of time to unravel by starting to work
in subplots and other ideas you'll feel
more confident that this idea is going
to work when you come to start writing
and now begin
while it's essential to make sure your
idea has got what it takes to turn it
into an exciting story don't delay the
writing process too much stories often
reveal themselves to the writer as they
write them and there is only so much
research or planning you can do before
you have to trust in your imagination
and creativity and talent and just get
going
turning your ideas it's a fully fleshed
out stories takes time and effort by
giving yourself a moment in the
beginning to do so you can start writing
feeling more confident and assured that
this idea is really going somewhere and
don't forget if it's too late to write
or finish your book our free writers

how to overcome procrastination get
organized stay focused find times right
