How To Become A Better Womens Fiction Writer

By Helen Scott


Women's fiction novels are usually confused with women's writing by most readers. Women novels are meant to describe the life and experiences of a female protagonist. On the other hand, women's writing describes literature that is authored or promoted by a female. Writing a women's fiction book requires one to consider a few aspects. Here are a few guidelines for becoming a better womens fiction writer to think through.

Settle on the type of novel to write. You can decide to write short or long literature depending on what you love. Long writing can include multiple genres since they have a lot of topics to cover. Short writing usually focuses on a single genre and are written for blogs, newspaper articles, and magazine articles as well.

Make a description of your protagonist. The character of your protagonist is supposed to be expressed in the first few paragraph and topic. You can start by showing a little bit of her character and then roll the rest as you build up the plot. Your readers should feel a connection with the main character by expressing her fears, vulnerability, feelings, and thoughts. Start by expressing warmth toward her to set off the plot in a positive mood.

Describe your setting well. There are different kinds of setting that you can use. This includes a medieval duration, a contemporary or a recent historical period. From that point, you can narrow down to an urban setting, suburb or a village setting depending on time. After that, zero down to a specific place such as an apartment, house mansion or a combination of different house settings. This will help in expressing the different habits of your character.

Include a key relationship. Novels which involve a female protagonist are much interesting when a male character is introduced. Such considerations are important in expressing romantic gestures such as affectionate, repulsiveness, supportive, and jealousy. A writer can also include a life-changing event that changes the romantic gesture of the protagonist expressed in the plot.

Maintain a balance among different situations. You should maintain humor, twist, suspense, thrill, and sadness while writing a long fictional novel. These styles are supposed to be expressed in a balanced manner to avoid overemphasis on one of them to the point of making the whole novel appear dull. However, a style such as suspense can be included on a regular basis towards the end of every topic to entice the reader.

Show the emotion of the protagonist in unexpected settings. You can use the feelings, thoughts, and believes of your protagonist to create a twist. Such can be expressed when you include an unexpected behavior or reaction in the most unexpected setting. This consists of an emotional outburst or excitement in an environment such as a dinner, public gathering or during a conversation. A male character usually influences the behavior.

Consider your ending. The ending that you choose can spoil the whole novel or make it interesting as well. You can decide to end it as a twist, in a happy ending, a long view ending or in an unresolved way. Happy endings are usually the best since they resolve the suspense that is created throughout the plot. It is most suitable for a horror story or a true story.
