Writing a Novel - Develop an Idea

Do you have an idea that you feel you can turn it into a novel? Personally, I think each of us has the ability to write a great story if we put our minds to it. Everyone is born with creativity and untapped talent that is waiting to explode. Most of us have to deal with similar situations in life, which ultimately gives us the inspiration we need to write a great novel. The most important aspects of a novel is the plot, the characters, the location, type and structure. The plot is more important, and drives the story along.

First, start with an abstract or summary of the story. This will allow you to build your stage of history by step and give structure. Consider the beginning of its history and the means and the end. His story should flow and make sense as the plot unfolds.

Decide quickly if your story is written in first or third person will have great influence on its history. Written in third person, unlike the first one will give you more control over its history, the view will be many different characters, not just a character, as in the case of the first person.

The best way to decide what you want to write is to assess the type of books you like to read normally. You do not have to stick to this model, but it will be easier for you to start writing your novel, if you have an interest in the subject. This will also help determine the types of characters you want to create in your story. If you write a Harlequin romance, for example, the hero and heroine could be a carefree young couple who only care about their desires and their relationship with others. The same couple certainly do not go into a children's novel. Genres, characters and plot must go hand in hand. There are different types of genres to choose from: crime, romance, stories, children, women, mysteries, thrillers, science fiction, and so on ...

One of the keys to successfully write a novel is to understand and meet the main characters and how they fit into the plot. Write a short story about each of them will help you understand what motivates each character and what drives them to do things they do throughout the novel. Write information such as: name, race, hair and eye color, sex, place of residence, occupation, age, their hobbies, their relationships with each other, including dilemmas in their past and present, will help shape the novel. Gathering this information early on will help you bring your story and characters to life. Sometimes they find that their characters is cleaned completely change the original parcel life!

When building their chapters, maybe you could start with an introduction to the main character and give some basic information about any problems they may have that need to be resolved. Make your first exciting page or your readers will lose interest.

The location or setting of your story is very important to capture the imagination. Try to visit the place you write, if this is not possible, do some research in the area. It also takes into account if your novel is based on the past, present or future.

Coming to the end of your story, make sure all the ends are tied up and left him to himself and the reader with a satisfying ending.

Writing a novel takes time, effort and patience. The best thing to do before you start is to read as many of your favorite novels as you can. This will help you analyze novels and divide them into sections, so you can get a good understanding of how the novels are structured. Choose your favorite novel and a review of each chapter. Find the highest point in history. Create your own climax on his own novel and see how it works.

There will be days when you get writer's block, and you do not feel like writing anything - standing pushing. Even if you can not think of anything to write and is just looking at your computer - to rest and try again later. If you are persistent, you will succeed. Be realistic and do not set goals too high. If you have made a commitment to write five pages a day, so make every effort to comply with that. But remember that writing should be fun and not a burden. Go ahead and have your finished novel quickly.
