5 Quick Tips For Writers First Starting Out
3. At Least Try And Be Original
Okay, so you want to write a book, its going to be great, with Orcs, Dragons, Trolls, magic swords and wizards that fight great daemons in the blackest of black pits... wait, thats just Tolkien rehashed. Never mind then, youre going to write a story about a young wizard whos parents are killed and he needs to prove himself to the other wizards of the world so that he can... damn. Okay, scrap the magic, were going to have a buff hero that only carried a sword around, doesnt know any magic, and is quite promiscuous with the local women of the towns that hes saving from the evil barons... Be original, come up with something thats new and exciting to the people of the planet, and make it a main theme too while youre at it, not just a random nod to a new type of magic that makes your feet turn green and start singing the national anthem. You need to create worlds, and destroy them, then re-create them and see what youre left with. Dont be one of the writing machines from the Ministry of Truth.
