So I know you're looking for a number for me to tell you, but I have some different advice. Screw word counts. Sure, a novel shouldn't be 10,000 words, I mean, let's be real, but just because someone somewhere wanted a novel to be of a certain length doesn't mean YOUR novel has to be that...

I'm sure this has been covered above, but my advice is to make sure you're thinking about writing when you have the free time. I'm in high school, and I have loads of extracurriculars. When I do have an hour or two to myself, I often find myself using that time to relax, read articles, and...

This is going to be my 2nd NaNo. Last year, I gave it a shot, but being a junior in highschool while also doing Mock Trial, my novel fell flat at 31,000. After rereading, I trashed the plot, but I'm back this year with the main idea of my book intact. It has yet to be named, but here's a blurb...

In addition to what ThinkerX said, if you want it to revert to the medieval era, make it longer since the eruptions, giving your humans more time to lose their knowledge of technology. Time couldn't be the only factor though, so you might want to throw another wrench in the destruction. Also...

I want to say thanks to everyone for the advice. I tried out this forcing myself to write thing, and it worked. I sat there, and forced out a pharagraph/ The words seemed to come a lot easier after that. One thing I found is when I am occupied in something boring(a.k.a, my calculus...

So I know this sounds completely ridiculous, but I have a problem with actually motivating myself to write. I have plenty of ideas that I would like to get out of my brain and onto paper, but I can't seem to get started. Now I recently finished up my soccer season, which took a lot of...

Yea, I found this via Google.

I would stick to what you're most comfortable with. Don't be worried by what you think people will be annoyed by, and spell the words the way you normally do. I think that most people will notice it, but just ignore it. The only people I could imagine being annoyed by it are those " 'Murcans "...

I'm no expert on this matter, seeing as I am also a white guy, but my family recently adopted two baby boys from Ethiopia, so I think I have a little advice to offer. One thing I noticed with my brothers is that their hair is extremely different. One has long loose curls, the kind that you can...

Hey everyone, my name is John, and I am new to this forum, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this.(Duh) I am a junior in high school, and I have recently begun attempting to put some of my ideas on paper. Having an extremely busy life, I haven't gotten to much writing yet, but my hope is to...
