How To Write A Book For Dummies

By David Gray


Writers would somehow agree that the most difficult part in creating a novel would be to start it because once the flow of the story is there, then things would just come out naturally. Of course if one would want to start with his novel, then he will first need an outline. For those who want to create this kind of material, here are good tips on how to write a book.

Now the conceptualization of the idea is the easy part but making the flow of the story is the hard part. If one would want to make a good story flow, then first he would need a good setting of the story. Other than that, he would also be needing interesting characters that the readers would love to get to know as they would read the tale.

Now when one has already finished this, then he may move on to create the flow of his story by making use of an outline that will help him have proper coherence. Now the traditional flow of events would actually be of course the intro of the main characters, then the build up of this story, then the big climax wherein a twist would usually happen which would be followed by the conclusion. With this model, one can make an outline first and just fill up the details after.

Now the first thing to write would be the introduction which is found usually in chapter one. Now in chapter one, the reader will be knowing more characters more especially the protagonist or the hero. The writer will also be writing about the time and place so that the readers can picture in their heads how things are going.

Now after the protagonist and some of the other characters have been introduced, then the antagonist will most likely be introduced next. In this stage, the author has already reached the climbing stage which would consist of a conflict that the protagonist has to resolve. The antagonist, of course, is trying to stop the protagonist from doing so.

Now as the story goes along many events will happen but the most exciting and interesting one is of course the climax. This is the part that would lead to the resolution of the story or in other words the big battle between hero and enemy. This will be the deciding factor as to what the conclusion would be.

Of course no story would be complete without a little twist that happens in the middle of the climax or somewhere after. Now for those that do not know what a twist is, it is basically a surprise in the story. It usually occurs somewhere near the climax but may actually occur somewhere before it.

Of course the last part would be the resolution part which is where the conflict is resolved. In this part, the hero has already finished the things that he was supposed to do. From there the author may or may not give him a happy ending.
