So cool! I hadn&#8217;t heard of some of them. Thank so much for sharing!<\/p>\n<p>When I first starting out as a novelist I had no idea how to develop an idea into a story. All I could do was write down my ideas. But inside I was burning and yearning to know how to develop them into a story, a novel, a big fat book readers could get happily lost in.<\/p>\n<p>Then I discovered a book that guided me through a story writing process (<a title=\"I mentioned The Weekend Novelist in this post a one of my top 12 favorite books\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/08\/my-top-12-favorite-writing-books-by-beth-barany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Weekend Novelist<\/a>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0I list this book as one of my top 12 favorites) and I took the plunge &#8212; wrote parts of my story throughout the year, following my new guide wherever it took me.<\/p>\n<p>I finally finished that first novel, after 5 years. I learned a lot, like how I didn&#8217;t really like writing historical fiction though I love history. But&#8230; yes, there is a\u00a0but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The writing process was exhilarating, yet I still didn&#8217;t understand what as story was, and especially how to create conflict.<\/p>\n<p>I went in search of more tools and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>I asked myself, &#8220;What kind of story do I really want to write?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the answer was, &#8220;Adventure with magic!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just like I read and sought out as a child.<\/p>\n<p>I took what was truly useful for me from\u00a0The Weekend Novelist\u00a0(<a title=\"A Simple Tool to Design Your Plot for Novelists on Writer's Fun Zone by Beth Barany\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/24\/a-simple-tool-to-design-your-plot-for-novelists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this plot outlining tool<\/a>) and set about following my heart drafting a new story.<\/p>\n<p>You see, writing and more importantly finishing that first novel unleashed in me the desire to write another book.
