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 your passion, why not turn that into a lucrative passion. This is actually a good idea since a lot of writers today are selling thousands of copies of their books. If you plan to make it possible, then make sure that you written the best story for your readers. In order to do that, here are some tips on how to write a novel.

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.

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 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.

Novels would never be completed without creating the characters. Therefore, make your characters effectively. The protagonist is one of the characters that will make the story beautiful. Thus, make it interesting. Ideally, protagonists do not have to liken, but should drive the interest of your readers.

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.

In order to create a perfect outline, it is best to read a lot of books particularly ones relevant to you genre in any way. This is crucial before, during and after you have created the novel. This is helpful in many ways. Keep in mind that characters with different and similar personality traits should be compared to each other and your own as well.

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.
