First steps in a plan that will help you prepare to write a great novel in just one month.
This week's quick challenge is about ideas. This should be easy to complete in a week.
Sit and fill at least one whole page with story sentences. Try to include the main character, what he desires, and what he must go against. Pick the sentence or sentences that contain a character are very interested by, you should be able to see this person in your head. Rewrite the sentence involving this character with five different desires and five different conflicts. Pick the one you are most interested in, the one that is the clearest, and the one with the highest stakes. Hopefully one sentence fits all three of these criteria. If not, edit it until it does. Keep the other sentences, find at least one that could make a good subplot. Find some books or short stories in the genre of interest and start reading.
