View Full Version : I Want To Write A Book- Any Ideas?
TikiRoom 09-24-2006, 03:04 AM I am encouraged to write a book, but first I will make it a story in the Stories section. I am reading a great book, it has specular word choice, I can picture like I am there, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. And even though it may be happening in the early 1800's, most of us might be able to relate to her. So, I need some ideas, no names or anything, I have a whole book of names, over one thousand names, but I could use some last names. I have no ideas for it yet. I am not asking you to write my book, but for some simple ideas. Thanks!
Plot-
Character (LAST NAMES)- Renolds, Carrington, Johnson, Spence
Setting- Small Town,
Names (Provided by Me)- Camille (means Free born, noble), Justin (means just, upright, richeous), Darleen (means darling), and Melody (means music, song)
Etc, etc..
BadgerHockey 09-24-2006, 03:22 AM Oh oh!! I'm reading that book right now too! Its for school, and its a really good book. As you said even tho it takes place in the 1800's, everyone can relate to Charlotte.How she makes bad choices, then has to make a huge choice for her mistake.
Just a suggestion, for settings a good place is a small town, example: New Lenox, Illinois. I bet you have no idea where that is. lol, but small towns interesting stuff can happen O_o
Also for names, don't pick out any old name. Find the meaning of it, and make sure it fits the character :D
TikiRoom 09-24-2006, 03:27 AM OMG, ME TOO! (Girly girl voice)
Okay, so like a small town, even though Providence is not small, it is the captial of Rhode Island, and even though the book takes place on a boat, heh oh well.
My book of names, it also tells the meaning of the name, and what language it comes from. So that's cool, heh.
TikiRoom 09-25-2006, 01:33 AM Okay, I posted some names I like :) Those are the main characters, as of right now. I am still looking for a plot, more setting, etc. :)
frenchessica 09-26-2006, 01:26 AM WOW!!! Cooooools!
I'm wrting a series! A diary Series!
The girl's name is Ashely Singer!
TikiRoom 09-26-2006, 04:46 AM Yup, cool.

TikiRoom 09-27-2006, 01:53 AM Sounds cool. :)
TikiRoom 09-30-2006, 04:00 PM I am still looking for many charcter last names, plot, etc...
PrincessTmkttt 09-30-2006, 08:16 PM I would truely love to write a book :) I like the one i wrote called Can I Be The One?...
You should read it :)
I dont know if I should show it to my mom lol!
Of course I have to make it alot longer but that will take awhile. I may make a new version of the first one but longer. Do you think I should?
TikiRoom 09-30-2006, 08:35 PM Sure, sure :)
I am thinking of a few plotsm of course, the basics, this girl likes this boy, he doesn't like her, etc. But I dont want it to be basic I want it to be... a hard hitting book!
MissMandrin 09-30-2006, 08:36 PM Still need last names? I might be able to help...
TikiRoom 09-30-2006, 08:38 PM Yes, I do need some still :)
vmkstar99 09-30-2006, 08:39 PM In my spare time, i type stories on word but i'm never really happy with any of them -.-
MissMandrin 09-30-2006, 08:41 PM Ok here are a few..(any of them can be spelled differently, ect..)
Renolds
Smith
Carrington
Johnson
Spence
just some ideas..I'll keep ya posted if I think of any more!
TikiRoom 09-30-2006, 08:47 PM Good good, I like those last names :).
I am thinking about the plot. So far, I like the idea of kids getting stuck inside a candy shop, but I couldn't write a whoole book about that.
MissMandrin 09-30-2006, 08:52 PM For the plot..what about a girl/guy moves away because one of their parents got a job somewhere, and he/she has to say goodbye to all of her friends. Then, when she moves in to her house, she discovers something strange/weird..I don't know, something like that.
BTW one more last name:
Garrison
TikiRoom 09-30-2006, 09:02 PM Hmmm, I like that :) I will think about it.
MissMandrin 09-30-2006, 09:25 PM Okey-dokie :) Need any more last names? I can probably whip up a few more if you need them lol
DarknessGirl 09-30-2006, 09:35 PM Im writing a book Currently called
Runs in the Blood
I have been working on it for about a month or soo....
TikiRoom 10-01-2006, 07:41 PM Sounds good :).
And MissMandrin, I was thinking about your idea; and I think it is kind of a basic plot, not that it isn't good, it really is a great plot, but people move all the time, and say goodbye. But what caught my attention is that she finds something strange in her house.
crazyfunnehchick 10-01-2006, 08:15 PM I'm trying to write a book too but I can't seem to find a good plot. Well I will tell you guys if I have any ideas for yours.:)
MissMandrin 10-01-2006, 08:17 PM Sounds good :).

Yeah, I understand. Maybe we can sort of mix it around a little bit to make it seem more original. :)
TikiRoom 10-05-2006, 12:47 AM Yea, totally :), heh. I was also thinking about like a boy who goes to college, or to war, something like that... I don't know! I NEED PLOT IDEAS!!
