The Procedure Of Writing A Novel

By Daniel Anderson


There are very many vital resources in the community. None of them however can match up to the possession of knowledge. Philosophers have insisted over the years that the biggest resource that people have at their exposure is the brain. An empty brain is no good however. The person has to venture into education and reading various good books and novels to set their minds ablaze. The methods used in writing a novel are very important.

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 process of writing the body of the book is yet the most tasking one. It takes a lot of concentration and patience as well. On completion, this person can either review the work in person or use a second party they trust to do this. After the first work has been reviewed, the author can embark on redrafting. One should take their time when it comes to making the final copy.
