Great idea. Some suggestions: ideally you should start with short stories and if you like any particular idea, you could develop it from there.
2. You could also try your hand at developing the characters and then fit them in a storyline.
Most important is having a good idea and imagination to develop.

Sure thing, Poonam. Will let you know if I come across such a site. Basically, I read a ton of books by various authors and try to find their styles. Some are good at character development, some at the plot and some are good with descriptions. Do let me know if you have any suggestions.
