Hi Bernardette. Welcome!
What to do?
Do you have a favorite Genre? If so write that down. It won't help much but it's a start to concentrate the mind. Now, from my point of view, what you need is a Main Character. Decide whather your MC will be male or female or something else. Human or semi-human. Give the character a problem.
Say she's just discovered she has a special talent, but the wicked queen wants her to.... And so on.
Forget that. Nows the time to call on your helpers. Everybody is entitiled to five plus one.
I wonder if I can remember their names.
Who?
What?
Why?
Where?
When?
And How?
Now all that's needed is a lot of hard work.
I'm sure others will be able to add to those standard basics, but I don't know if you know, Nov. is an awkward month. Most members are doing the yearly ritual of banging their heads on their keyboards as they try to come up with another 1660 (do I remember ther riight number, people?) words for the
National Novel Writing Month.
So don't stop posting your questions. Everybody will be back soon.
