A program for aspiring authors

5/27/2009

Many people would love to tap their creativity and write a book. But it’s not easy. Not everyone can be Stephen King. That guy seems to pump out a new book every week.

It turns out, writing a novel is really hard. A lot of things have to go into a good book. You need interesting characters, locations and plot twists. Keeping everything straight can be a problem.

Storybook is an organizational tool for creative writers. It lets you break up your story into structural elements. List your characters, locations, story arcs and chapters. Attach reminders and descriptions to each element.

When you begin writing a scene, build it out of elements. Summarize a scene. Decide which characters are going to be present. What location will they inhabit? You can create a solid outline in no time.

Do you remember the other writers we used to ping to author posts? If not, I can look back at the first thread and find their names.
