What do I do with my ideas for books?

    Hello:) over the past few days I have thought of one or two plotlines or stories that I think would make a great book. I was just wondering, what do I do next? Do I try and write the book or should I go to someone professional and see what they think? I'm only 15, and I don't want to come across as cocky or too eager, but I really love reading and writing and I'm just a bit lost as to how to approach something like this.? Sorry if I sound confusing, thanks in advance :)

    Yeah write it.

    And don't worry about appearing cocky. Trust your idea and your own judgement otherwise you'll never write anything.

    NaNoWriMo starts today. Get writing.

    And after writing say a chapter or two post some of the first chapter and ask for feedback which is always useful to recieve good or bad. And most importantly enjoy it :)

    If you're doing NaNo don't because it'll stop you getting to the finish line.
