If you have trouble writing or coming up with ideas a story project plan may be just the thing to help you on your way. The very first thing you must decide on is the type of genre you want to write. If you are unsure of what the genres are, here is a good explanation you can study as well as here. Once you have your story genre chosen, you can move on to setting up your story project plan.
1. What do you want to do with your story?
2. What characters do you want to involve?
3. Is there a back story within the plot?
4. Where do you want to go with the story?
5. How do you intend to get there?
These questions may take a lot of consideration and thought on your part. A word of advice, do not answer these questions unless you are in a calm state of mind and have clear thinking.
1. Set up your characters as they come to mind in a document. Label it something to help you remember what it is.
2. Set up the city, state, country, and environment where the story is taking place. This should be done for each character. Remember an environment is your immediate surroundings of which you are in right now.
3. Set up any minor characters that may be involved.
4. Plan to make time to write. (If possible), and choose an environment that is not distracting.
5. Set up a "deadline" for when your story has to be finished.
6. If there is a delay, or a time you cannot write on your scheduled day, simply reschedule. Simple as that.
A story project plan can be implemented into a story outline and chart. The first two sections are best to go into a story outline while story schedule would go into a chart. Or better a time chart. Next you will want to research the towns, provinces, or country where your story is taking place. Suppose you wanted to put your character in Baltimore, MD. Your resources are the Web and the library. You should NEVER write your character in any place of living that you have NEVER been to without RESEARCH first! Once you have gathered all your requirements, you can then start writing.
