Hello its Peter here again from Writer's

life and today how to develop your

initial book idea there's nothing quite

like a feeling of coming up with a

brilliant idea for a new book it might

come to you in a flash when you are

relaxing or thinking about all the

things you might see or hear is

something that inspires you all you

might have added the idea at the back of

your mind for a long time

and feel now is the time to explore it

further however you happened upon your

initial book idea it can be an exciting

time when you get that first spa knowing

what to do with it next however can be a

little more tricky writing a novel is no

mean feat after all a while it can be

tempting just to jump right in and start

without researching and taking the time

to understand your story idea and

whether it can work you can end up in

trouble some writers like to simply

write and see where it takes them while

this can be freeing and productive most

writers find that they'd end up backing

themselves into a corner suddenly their

story runs out of steam all the plots

has gotten so complicated there's no

keeping track of what is going on or

they have backed themselves into a

corner and there is nowhere left to go

finding out that your story isn't going

to work when you've already invested

time and energy into it can be very

disheartening that's why it's a good

idea to take some steps to ensure you

can get from chapter 1 right through

until the end so how do you do this

first of all shape your idea once you

have your brilliant initial

idea don't stop there spend lots of time

bending and shaping it experimenting

with it and allowing it to grow think

about your characters motivations work

out how to add unique twists to your

plot push the limits of your imagination

by breaking from the mold one great idea

does not make a novel so make sure you

spend time adding to it and then

chipping away at it and then adding to

it again until your idea is something

much more sculpted and much more

powerful as a result next pay attention

to everyone and everything it's easy to

get too focused on your main characters

and too bogged down in the main plot

however a good book has minor characters

and subplots too and these should be

just as fierce and imaginative and

intriguing and fantastic as the rest of

your novel make sure it has depth and

layers and make sure you can tie

everything together at the end when

writing your first draft write about

everything include it's all pack your

story full of interesting characters and

places and things to make it burst from

the page next give it space to write a

book you need enough material to keep it

going if you find that you're struggling

to find enough to say or are trying too

hard

to fill out your chapters but soon find

your book will feel slow and lethargic

keep up the energy pick up the pace and

if parts of your plot feels slow work

out how to add drama to amp them up and

drive them forward so you're right a

real page-turner next get rid of the

excess once you've written your first

draft you can now start to strip it back

get rid of everything that isn't

sorry even if it's brilliantly written

you'll know when something has no place

being in your book and even though it

may hurt to take it out it's the only

way to make sure your story is truly

great by implementing these techniques

you'll take your story from its initial

idea to something far more exciting

something tangible well developed and

ultimately something that you can be

truly proud of developing your book

ideas takes focus but doing so and

allowing oneself the time to truly

explore the creative process will mean

that your book will be all the better

and no doubt your readers will think so

too and don't forget if it's struggling

to write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get
