I've got ideas for two books. Yes, still ideas. I've got the plot and everything. Just need to write it. That's the hardest part.

Why do this? It gets the reader interested, and also helps you along as you write the scene. Introduce your characters early, and introduce the problem soon after. For example, in LOTR you began with the party, introducing the new characters and bringing back the old characters, and then moved into The Shadow of the Past. Start the heros on their quest, and move it from there. After that, make sure your plot builds to a natural climax, and then finish with the denoument: wrapping it all up and letting it come to a conclusion.

It's just some stuff that got pounded into my head from reading about how to write fiction.

Well, hey, *becomes extremely mysterious and cryptic* I guess one doesn't have to go do a search for a website, when the one we need is the one right here that we've already got.

I have a question. Is realistic fiction a story that has made-up characters, but could actually happen? I can't find it in my dictionary...
