		<description>You have some good ideas there, but I think Christine is thinking that each of your ideas are one book, when they really are several. 

Here&#39;s the rundown on writing. Make sure that your family and friends are not just paying you lip service when they say your writing is great and you have a talent. From what I see in your ideas, you have a pretty good grasp on the English language, spelling and grammar.

First you have to have a plot. Nevermind the characters for now. The plot and the point of view POV are two of the most important parts of a novel, or short story. 

Once you have that down, then you&#39;ll think about who and what your characters are. You’ll need a protagonist and an antagonist. Do you know what those mean? Will one be a female? Will one be a male? Maybe they’ll both be either female or male. 

What you’ll need to do is get your hands on a book about writing a novel. Go to your bookstore or library and look one up. I have over $300.00 dollars invested in books that are helpful to a writer. You will also need to have a firm grasp on the English language in spelling and grammar. 

Once you write your book, you’ll want to make sure that it’s edited properly. NEVER let a family member read your work unless they can give you an honest opinion. Lip service does neither you nor your writing any good. You’ll need an honest opinion. 

You’ll need a copy of Writer’s Market. In there you will find literary agents, both their snail mail and email addresses. You will have to write a query letter and give the agent a synopsis of the story. Know this: Any mistakes in grammar or spelling will be an automatic reject. This also goes for your manuscript. 

The books you buy from a bookstore or borrow from a library regarding how to write should also include how to format your manuscript and a sample of a query letter.

There’s a lot more to it than just sitting down and writing a story.

Good Luck!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Published author. Spook Rock a novel.</description>

		<description>These all sound really good. I am a 15 year old writer myself. I am not really into the whole mystery thing but all of these sound really interesting and something that I might actually read. Keep writing!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
