   very helpful, thank you!
   I’ve just written three pages about how the government works for the small country my book will be based around. Now that I have that and how the currency works, all sorts of ideas come to mind at all times of the days.

   ideas i tough. sci-fi i have found can be the easiest to do. if they are based on another planet like starwars then you can make up anything. i take my ideas form my dreams manily and films i may have watched.
   look around you.take a normal everyday thing and make it into a story.
   i do have an outline. i take my story and break it up into 20 points. then i write about each point. this has helped me a lot. i have had a set back as my computer crashed and i lost all my work.

   Hi Chris, I think …
   Hi Chris, I think you’ve done a great job in explaining the process of writing a novel. One of the areas I get stuck is in the idea or topic for a novel. I like sci-fi myself and am trying to think of something neat. The problem is that just about every storyline I can think of (right now anyway) seems to have already been done by someone… Anyways, do you use an outline for your book? How is the novel doing? Is it finished/published. Best of luck to you.

    i had a look but i couldnt find any thing online about how to write a book. i think there might be courses that you could take at college but not alot online.
    i found the “teach yourself how to write a novel” by nigel watts for about $10 on amazon. this is the book that i talk about in the video. i think you will just have to have a look in your local shop or libary. hope this helped.

    Chris, you say your a new writer, but not many people would take time to help others with what they know thus far. You could teach others your humanitarianism because it shines through! Peace & Blessings to you, and thanks! Good luck with this & your future books!

    Thank you Chris!

    I was wondering how much time you write each day and then you mentioned - Three hours a day! Is that on days when you don’t work or have classes?

    Your dedication and determination shine through.
