Tips On How To Write A Novel

By Andrew Richardson


Writing stories and novels require a writer to have creative minds. Good novels usually show reality allowing each reader to find the humanity and truth in the world that is completely created. No matter what kind of novel you want to write, either a romance or thriller, you will need endless creative energies, passion, and commitment in making a draft, revise or edit if 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 would be best to carry your notebook and pen so you would be able to jot down all your ideas wherever you go. You should get inspired by anything you hear of see while commuting, while walking down the road, or even if you are strolling around. Actually, being a writer requires you to get inspired at all times. In fact, there are writers that find it difficult to come up with an idea and the only way to produce good ideas is getting an inspiration.

Next is to consider the genre you love most. Actually, not every story suits into a specific category, but think about your audience and your genre as you begin planning the draft. Read major works that fall into your selected genre and understand everything including the proper construction of the stories and the standards of your selected genre.

Once you have made up your mind and chosen a genre, start planning the setting of the novel. Never focus on a specific setting while trying to start dreaming higher. Actually, the setting of the story will determine the mode and tone which could affect the problems of the characters. Consider some questions in making a draft.

A novel is not complete without creating your characters. The protagonist is actually a crucial role in the novel and should possess all the patterns and personality trait6s. Basically, protagonists do not have to be likable, but should be related to what your readers feel.

Visualizing the plot would be the next step to consider. A lot of novels, no matter what the genres are having some sort of conflicts and disputes. Tension and problem build until the issue comes to a climax and the it is resolved in different ways. It does not mean that novels should end happily like fairytale stories. It is more giving motivations for each character while making a meaning of the story.

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 writing a story, as a writer, you should not feel emotional or sensitive when it comes to negative feedback. Once readers comment about your stories and advised to change it, then make sure not to change it directly. It is important to make changes not because they want it bit for the betterment of your novel.
