And with fast digital publishing available, it’s possible to sit and write fiction novels every day and publish them in minutes.
In fact there are many fiction authors who can write and publish one or two novels every week.
But sometimes it can be hard to find enough ideas.
If this is a problem for you, here are three things you can do to have a never-ending supply of great ideas for your novels.
- Visit the Library. Just go and browse a few books in the genre that you want to write. Read the blurb on the back cover and flip through a few pages to get a feel for the style of writing and the flow of ideas. Then, whatever the plot idea of the book, come up with an even better one. Sometimes just looking at a book cover can spark a great idea
- Browse Second-Hand Books. Charity shops are usually filled with cheap novels that no-one wanted to read twice. Buy one, read it, and improve on the story idea. Come up with a much better plot and turn it into a best seller.
- Window Shop On Amazon. This is a great website for coming up with plot ideas. On Amazon you can read book blurbs plus use the “look inside” feature to get better book ideas. Amazon will also show you similar books as you browse, which helps you to keep on looking.
These are 3 easy to use ways to find ideas for your next great novel.
But…there’s one caveat. DON’T PLAGIARISE!
It’s perfectly fine to use someone else’s book to help you to come up with your own ideas, but don’t steal their work.
Everything you write and your ideas must be your own.
Just start looking and browsing and write down all the great ideas that spark in your mind.
And if you keep browsing and keep looking you should never run out of ideas ever again.
