Tips On How To Write A Novel

By Andrew Richardson


Writing a book is not an easy thing. Writers need to be committed, passionate, and creative to successfully make a novel. Good novels often show a great reality and allow readers to find the truth in the world that is fabricated. So, regardless of what type of novels you will be writing, either romance or horror, you need to have a boundless creativity in making your outline, revise, and edit them as much as possible.

If writing is a hobby you want, then you can make that passion into a profitable one. It is a perfect idea to make and sell your books especially if you have captured the interest of your audience. If you are planning to make that possible, then be sure to write a story for your readers. But before that, you have to make sure to obtain an idea on how to write a novel successfully.

It is better to carry a notebook with you whenever you go because ideas may come out no matter you do. Thus, even if you are commuting, or working, ideas might come out. It is actually true that you will never know when your ideas come out. Thus, just be prepared. Being a good writer also need you to get an inspiration. Sometimes, writers find it difficult to produce better ideas if they are not inspired. Thus, an inspiration really plays a role in your writings.

The genre of stories also needs to be planned carefully. Basically, not all novels fit a certain category. In choosing a genre, you should also think about your audience as you begin planning the outline. You can also find some major works that may fall into a chosen genre and try to understand it including the construction of these stories as well as the standards of a story.

Once you decide to which genre to write within, plan about the setting of your story. You should not focus to only one setting only and start dreaming big. The setting you are thinking will actually identify the mode and tone of the story which could affect the problems that your characters encounter. You also need to think about questions as you outline the book.

A novel is incomplete without characters, thus, you have to create your characters. The protagonist plays an important role in your novel who should possess all the personality traits and patterns. Actually, protagonists do not have to be likable, but they should be able to be related to something else in a way that readers will stay interested.

Actually, visualizing your plot should be the next step to think about. Novels regardless of their genres have some sort of disputes and conflicts. Problem and tensions are present to the climax of the story but can be resolved in any way. Actually, a novel does not have to end a happily ever after lie fairy tales. It is like giving a motivation for the characters to add a meaning of the book.

To create a great outline, it is better to read different books specifically ones relevant to the genre you write. This is important during and after you have made the book. Always remember that characters with similar and different traits must be compared with each other.

When you write a book, a writer should not feel sensitive when getting feedback. In fact, this is helpful to revise or change anything to the story. But in this matter, you should not change everything directly just to please them. Just think it as a betterment for your book.
