By Daniel Anderson


We live in an era whereby knowledge and information equal to power. Knowledge can be defined as a familiarity, understanding or even awareness of a particular thing. For a person to be termed as knowledgeable, they owe to have several things such as facts, descriptions, information and skills as well. This can be accomplished through either an education or experience. Reading books is one way to gain such awareness. The process of Writing a Novel is very elaborate.

A novel is generally a book that narrates a particular imagination of writer. This imagination is brought to life through the introduction of fictional characters and various other aspects of the ordinary community that we know. The sequencing of this story has to be strategically done as to not only surprise but also intrigue the readers. Without proper preparation, this can prove to be quite a hurdle.

The process of writing a book begins with the creation of a summary. This summary usually comprises of one sentence. Here the person should refrain from stressing with characters names and such details. Emphasis is put on the vivid descriptions of the people in context. One has to take extreme care when creating this statement as it will be an eminent part of the proposal.

The next step is providing a description of story. This part of process requires the author to write more about the summary. The description should make up a complete paragraph of about six sentences. A common structure used by authors is the three-act one. This structure comprises of the introduction, middle act and the end section that requires the story to climax. After this final touches can be done to make up for loose ends.

The most important part of this book is the characters being used. The author has to make an effort to fully describe these people and give those names, goals, motivation and several other things that will bring them alive. High levels of innovation and creativity must be exercised here. Care should be taken as not to make these characters bizarre.

At that point these people are simply ideas of the author. Turning them into living people is the next logical step in this sequence. This means that they must possess attributes such as birth days, likes and dislikes and background information too. The gradually changes in these people should be briefly introduced to the reader as well.

Another important part in the process of writing is scenery setting. One should really make an effort of exercising their imagination at this level. A synopsis should be creation with about four pages to it. Among the other things to determine here is the trend and unfold of events, view point in use at the narration and the tension points as well.

The writing of this novel commences after that. This should be done carefully with high levels of concentration. After the draft has been completed, it should be edited carefully and then redrafted. Upon completion, one should not revise the book instantly. They should take an average of two weeks off to refresh and mind adequately.
