Do you ever stop to wonder if you are really meant to be a writer? You stare at your writing and wonder if you are in the right place. You wonder if you should be doing more or if you should be further along. Here are some signs HG Nadel often discusses that show you were meant to be a writer... Writing is a Passion of Yours If writing is a passion of yours, then you are obviously in the right place. You Have Always wanted to be a Writer Even as a child, you dreamed of writing. When someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, your answer was always "a writer." Doubt Yes, even good writers have doubt. This is a sign that you really are meant to be a writer. If you have been having doubt lately, it'll go away - it is just a thought routinely popping up in your head and you shouldn't let it bother you.

Most people can list three or four interesting, spell-binding and even life-changing experiences that could easily be turned into powerful short stories. But there is a big problem. As soon as they touch the keys of their computer, most people soon realize there are at least two super-difficult considerations that prevent real-life episodes being recalled verbatim. The first is that most incidents involve other people, who may well sue the writer for libel if they object to the way they are depicted. The second is that real life is rarely as neat, clearcut and uncluttered as the short story format demands. Unlike a novel, a short story is usually confined to a single plot that cannot wander all over the place, but is usually required to progress in a straight line from "A" to "C" via "B". Furthermore the number of characters is usually limited to the number strictly required for plot purposes. Once they realize these restrictive facts, most potential wri...

"Wanna-be" writers wait for inspiration or a Muse, make excuses, and sometimes criticize people who are writing or have written. Others lament that they don't know what to write about. Yet, these same people can talk with friends, relatives, colleagues or coworkers for hours with little or no effort. So what is the difference between talking and writing? Very little! They are different means to the same end. Whether we are talking or writing, we are communicating or exchanging facts and experiences. If you have trouble typing or putting words on paper, dictate what you want to write, then transcribe the spoken word. A number of apps are available to help you do so. Some will even type while you dictate, so just do it! Put your thoughts down for the world to see and to learn from your experiences and passions. "If you want to be the best you can be at what you do, you must write every day -- at least every day that it is possible for you to write. Set a schedule tha...

The question most often asked of creative writers is, "Where do you get your ideas?" and it's a silly question because a fertile imagination is one of the basic requirements of the craft. If you don't have the ability to create new scenarios, or merge several disparate notions into something fresh and exciting you lack one of the three fundamental strands of creative writing. These are, and not in order of importance - A good imagination A command of the language A knowledge of storytelling This article focuses on the third of these elements because the first two are relatively self-explanatory. Imagination, as I've said, requires the ability to read a news story in a newspaper, watch a movie, listen to a record, and merge elements from all of these to create something new. This is not stealing other people's ideas; it is using your imagination to its fullest extent. No ideas spring from nowhere, they are all based on information that your brain h...

The best way to help your child become a better writer is to separate the mechanics of writing (grammar, punctuation, handwriting, spelling) from the creative part. Your child's strength is in his vivid imagination - an important asset in all writers. Help your child learn that writing is a two-stage process: the first stage is getting the ideas on paper; the second step is correcting or editing the work. When writing the first draft of an essay or story, encourage your child to write things down in whatever form or order he is comfortable with. Once those ideas are in a written form, you can guide your child to developing a more polished version. If your child is very young, you will have to give a lot of help, but as he grows older, he will learn to do more for himself. Keep in mind that even professional writers hire editors to proofread and correct their work! MIND MAPPING A good technique for getting ideas to flow on the paper is to use mind-mapping. Your child will st...

If you are writing a short story, you need two main ingredients: characters and plot. You must have people*, and they must be doing something. [*Animal stories succeed because of anthropomorphism, which is when human shapes or characteristics are given to a god, animal or inanimate thing. The old stories of the Greek gods employed this means of enlivening their subjects. Children's stories use it often.] Most writers advise starting with the characters. Create powerful and interesting characters, and then put them into situations involving conflict and/or difficulty of some kind which they have to work through - and that becomes your plot. Here are some guidelines by HG Nadel for your characters: The short story should have only two or maybe three main characters. These main characters will only deal with a few relevant aspects of their character, and may be scarcely described, leaving that to the reader's imagination, unless it is crucial to the story. In a short story, ...

Short stories are just supposed to be that... short. When you are writing creatively it's easy to allow stories and ideas to get out of control. Sometimes you just get to writing and suddenly you are off on a rabbit trail that might make for interesting character insight but really has nothing to do with the plot of the story. When you're writing a short story, editing is going to be your best friend. First things first, you want to write your story as you wish. Get it all out on paper or in a computer file. You can always go back and edit. You want to get your story out, scene by scene first. You can't decide what's important to the core of the story if it's not there for you to see. Go ahead and write the story. If you are submitting the story for contest then you will need to check and see if there is a page or word limit on the story before submitting it, but that comes during the editing phase. Once your story is out then it's time to edit. If you have wr...

Do you need movie script ideas? Generating movie script ideas can be comfortably done by first defining the parameters within which you will be working. A shroud of mystery surrounds exactly where ideas stem from. Ideas are nothing but the thoughts that flash into the mind when we are thinking of something in particular. The ability of human beings to contemplate, understand and come up with new ideas perennially is what sets them apart from other creatures. Innovative ideas for movies are always welcomed by Hollywood, no matter their source. The film industry is on perpetual look-out for inspirations for the next big hit. Movie script ideas sell well today, but remember that they will fetch a far smaller return than the completed script. An idea may strike at any time. A writer should always be ready to note them down immediately or else they may 'fade out' of the memory. Even at night writers can keep a paper and pencil at hand so that they can jot down points that will fac...

A lot of people have thought about how to plot a film script, but many simply don't have the basic down yet that they need to tell a good story. A movie worth watching will always tell a good story. Good stories are told using some type of structure. In the world of cinema, as well as most novels, simply utilize a 3 act structure in which to tell their story. In the first act, you get the audience hooked with an exciting premise or idea. The second act is used to introduce conflict and get the good guys of the story into some trouble with an antagonist. The third and final act is for the climax of the story and where things come to a close.   If you want to know how to plot a film script correctly and actually have it get made into a movie, then having a good act one is very crucial.
