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.

You also need to consider the genres you like most. Basically, not all stories fit a certain category but consider the audience and the genre you are planning to outline. Aside from that, read major stories that fall into your chosen genre as you start planning the draft. Try to understand your 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 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.

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.
