novel story - Launching an original idea - Avoid cliches based on stories

to present thousands of writers from all over America with their stories of hope that their work on the big screen affair. But many are rejected for various reasons, one of which is founded by "the history of stereotypes.
With this expression reproduce an entertainment reporter in southern California on the air, the Hollywood producers have been on a roll, the old classics because the new scripts have received to had no original ideas. (Do the new twists on old films evoke curiosity. And the film industry is making money.) Therefore, they prefer to spend money for the retrofitting of old films than to invest in the story lacked originality and uniqueness.
In March 2004, I attended a seminar of three days in Los Angeles, by Robert McKee, a veteran writer organized. The topic was the dynamics of the history, structure, for writers and writer. An important question was McKee, a story (that emphasized the act) should be an original idea. But to reach the original, a writer should avoid stereotypes based on stories. "
When I say the word cliché, I do not mean verbal clichés (phrases) that people often use in conversation. I am delighted with images that speak "in the context conspiracy."
First, the definition of the cliché is overused. If a movie (with a novel idea) by critics after his debut in the theater to attract the attention of the authors raved. So if this idea of history in a different film is used, it is a cliché. The same is true of the novels in the arena of the publishing industry.
Examples of images are based on stories:
"Harry Potter" - A story of two boys and a girl with magic is an original idea.
"Shadowmancer" - A story of two boys and a girl with magic is, in some measure a snapshot of Harry Potter.
Another example:
Star Wars debuted (1977) - a powerful empire with massive star ships and fighters wasted a mission to compete for the rebel, is an original idea.
Battlestar Galactica debuted (1978) - a powerful empire with massive star ships and fighters wasted a mission to compete for the rebel, is a picture of Star Wars.
The shoot-em-up cowboy movie "to rob stagecoaches to land (in the early years of the cinema) were cliches, from the first film-flight coaches.
My recent book is a novel Thriller / with a property that is unique. But in the act, there are several scenes of court / Short Story, the snapshots of scenes from stories of love of others. Cliche-ish scenes such as the characterization of the figures are almost imperceptible, because history is moving. Again the mission by creating a story to an original idea of the property.
Please note that all romantic stories have one common denominator: "Boy meets girl.
Women share in the excitement girlfriend. Boy Girl Hunting "and to some extent have the new type of stories that have similar characteristics. But most importantly, introduced as the action / deployment of" boy meets girl "theme.
Try to take history as a moving vehicle. Next, consider the following points:
The theme is like the conductor of the property.
And the plot is like the type of vehicle in which the story moves.
The vehicle can be a horse and buggy, car, train, airplane, boat, ship, boat or hot air balloon. Each piece, unique style, your audience on a journey.
Therefore, you can several political stories with the President, the CIA and FBI. But any story would have very different plots. The same is true for all genres: Suspense / Thriller, Historical Fiction, Romance, Western, and so on. But if you have problems finding an original idea, try the following:
1st Browse the titles of the books that jam the shelves in bookstores or those online. Some titles may conjure up ideas. 2nd Google your idea of theme-ish and see what ideas are connected. Your idea may be original. 3rd Scroll through photos illustrate historical books from Time Life / interesting pictures that life in the last century. A picture is worth a thousand words. Some images evoke ideas that could turn into a unique site.
Trapping your audience and Publisher
The only thing absolutely most important thing in starting an original idea is the configuration. Trapping your audience, especially an agent and publisher. work hard because you open your story. Be Cleaver with creation. Meditate on the scenarios for the opening of several. Share it with your closest friends. Get their opinions. Then the best are selected. Your settings can be rewritten eight, ten or more. When I speak of rewriting I speak your words in massage trade. Expand your sentences with a clear and catchy. Make your audience what you see and feel what you feel. Transporting it in your literary world.
The configuration of my novel in question, about fifteen, rewritten because it is extremely important that I the reader with the central idea of the history of the event.
