When you start to writing a novel, which may have something in mind. Perhaps you’ve had a story in his mind for months or years or maybe there is some character that has developed over time, and you would like to create a story around him or her. Maybe you have nothing in mind but have always wanting to write a novel. Well, here’s your chance!

There are two types of novels: the story driven and character driven. Story driven novels happen when you have a specific story you’d like to tell, and let the plot move at the pace of the novel and define the characters. Driven by the novels of characters are the opposite – it begins with a character or several characters, and builds the story around them, based on how you feel they would act or behave.

In any case, I think it is important to know your characters very well.

If you do not know how to start and have no ideas for a story or characters, here is the easiest way to get started:

1. Decide who you want your story is about more than what you want it to be about.

2. Start designing your character – what makes him or her? How does he or she speaks? What makes him or her? What is their name? Write down everything you can think about this character. You can always go back and change things once you start typing. This is just to give you an idea that this “person” is.

3. Once you have your main character, you can begin to define the secondary characters. Decide on your relationship with the main character, and write down everything you can about them. Once again, you can always go back and change things later.

4. After you arrive with a few characters, you may be starting to have ideas of what will happen to these characters. You must at least have an idea what kind of novel will be, love story? A mystery? A thriller? All you have to do is start typing and let the characters guide the story. The better you know your characters, the more you realize that history is already there, is simply written down.

5. Remember to be faithful to your characters. If your main character is afraid of the dark, would not go out at midnight to investigate a noise they heard. Your readers pick up on this.

Happy writing!

You want to get starting in writing a novel, you have fresh ideas but something stops you. Fear of failure or just not sure how to start, may be the worst writers block. A great way to start is to follow Nike’s advice and Just Do It. Once you enter there is a rhythmic movement forward.

Here are some tips to get started:

• Organize a couple of hours in advance.
• Find a quiet place away from your iPod or stereo.
• Keep a dictionary nearby, a book or online.
• Clear your mind of everything that has to do or not do.
• Wear comfortable clothes.
• Have your computer open with a Word document open

Do not worry about the technical parts, just take the written word. There will be plenty of time to edit and change a little later. As you type, your voice will grow with your style. Do not be surprised when you read through your manuscript, your writing will improve. Like anything else, practice makes you better. Don’t worry about starting at the beginning, you can start in the middle or at the end if you feel more comfortable. Anything and anywhere, as long as you start.

Create a routine of writing. In the best case, you should write every day. Every successful author tell you the exact number of hours, or words per day. If you have other obligations, such as employment or a dependent family, perhaps you can do in two days. Make a schedule and stick to it. At the beginning of each writing session, read what you’ve done ahead of time and continue from there. During the session or end notes of your ideas if you do not forget. This can be done either in a notebook or a right in the Word document of your manuscript. After a while and see what works best for you and adapt.

Above all, do not give up. If you like the process and the desire to succeed, to continue writing. If you lead a busy life, like most, you have to give something to add writing to your day. Could be other hobbies, watch TV or even sleep. Ultimately, you will feel proud to have achieved your goal.

After reading many boring books in a row, I had the idea that I could do better. This was a minor issue that was not really sure I could do since I had never written before. But then I read, I began a thorough analysis of the plot, characters, writing styles and more.

I began writing the story and character ideas in a notebook. When I felt like there was a beginning of a story that did exactly what I mentioned earlier. I’m sitting at my computer, open a Word document and started writing. In college, I remember it difficult to get a one-page document. At ten pages, I was surprised, then I was twenty-five pages, seventy pages, and when I hit a hundred pages, nobody was more surprised than me. Every time I reread potions I was impressed that I wrote.

Do not be fooled. This was certainly not a finished product when the story was over. I spent many hours on the subject for many months. I had to learn the grammar, work on my sentence structure and modify it to make sure that the story flowed. The thrill of all that motivated me every night after my return after a hard day’s work. I scarified TV, telephone, and sleep. You can do this if you have the passion to make it happen.

Writing A Novel

Excessive Adverbs

Try to avoid using adverbs in your writing, especially after the dialogue. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, or other types of words, phrases and clauses, and generally have few adjectives ending in the suffix-ing. It will distract the reader from his story. There are too many cases, “he said incredulously,” or, “he quipped.” A good story or the dialogue will make the tone your are trying to create without the need for an additional descriptor.

Description excessive

The description is very different from the specific details that are necessary in a good novel. Description, however, may delay its history. Use this rule of thumb for deciding whether to provide a description of his writing – is bound to intrigue and to advance the story? If the answer is not cut. Writing is all about moving the plot, and if you pause to provide a two page description of a building, no matter how nice, that stops the action. The pace is everything. Join the action.

Avoid generalizations

Unlike the excessive description, specific details are very important for history. Take a moment to the name of a street or a restaurant, or briefly describe a dress, made all the difference to your readers. I recently read a book that I shall not name, who gave no further details. It made me so mad! He talked about a dress she had chosen for that night, but he has not said a word about it! You could say I was a little black dress or a slinky red evening gown, or a summer dress with flowers. That did not provide important details, actually took in its history. It is less credible. Most readers have a little imagination, but it needs some work. Expect to find all the details is unprofessional and, frankly, a bit lazy.
