Product Description

Product Description

Almost every writer has a pathological predisposition to procrastination and often believe there is a magical answer to the question ‘where do you get your ideas?’.

Well now, whether you write Twitfic, Microfiction, Flash Fiction, Short Short Stories, Short Stories, Novelettes, Novellas, Novels or Scripts you can tell everyone that you get your ideas here.

This is a prompts book. Oh yes. But it's a prompts book with a BIG difference. The prompts in this book aren't the usual, run-of-the-mill, mind numbingly boring prompts you usually get.

Oh, no. Not here.

And this is not the sort of book that's just going to give you a prompt and expect you to know what to do with it. No matter what form your writing takes, this book will show you an easy way to get the ideas out of your brain and transformed into stories.

How? Well that's the easy part - firstly there's Mr Maxwell's Spectacular Story Suggester.

A simple method of taking whichever prompt you choose and getting it straight into the easiest possible form so you can get to the important part - writing the story.

There is, of course, more. The author has taken a prompt and written a Flash Fiction story from it and then explained exactly how he did it.

Then Adrian Graham, a prolific microfiction author whose ebooks have been downloaded over 120 thousand times has written some exquisite stories and explained how to create micro-magic from the prompts

Next Rosalind Wyllie, a tremendous playwright whose plays have been performed up and down the country by fine companies of players (including the RSC) has penned a short script and taken time from her busy schedule to describe how she weaved her magic.

And last but by no means least the fantastic Y.A. author Mr C.G. Allan has written a children's short story and then explained just how it went from prompt to print.

By the time you've inhaled this book you mind will be an overflowing well of wonderful ideas and even better - you'll know what to do with them.

Almost every writer has days when they can't think of a single idea worthy of putting on a page. Writing tends to be a solitary past time but if you're fortunate to become immersed in free flowing ideas, new worlds and characters can keep you company as the creative process swings in to action. However, although every writer longs to open the portal into that happy zone and produce reams of exciting copy, it can often prove elusive and you can find yourself sitting, looking at a blank screen that might as well be an arid desert. Lost the Plot? is the reliable friend that rescues you from the dreaded writer's block. It's the insight you need that provides you with that all important starting point. It serves as the sound of the gun at the staring blocks that allows you to run away with writing worth reading. Lost the Plot? should be beside every writer, no matter how experienced you are, it never lets you down!
