The Methods Used In Writing A Novel

By Daniel Anderson


Developments in science and technology have greatly changed the society today. Unlike in the past, we now live at a moment in time when knowledge and information are some of the most valuable resources that a person can have. Being able to offer facts, descriptions and skillfulness are some of qualities required to thrive. A person has to read not only academic materials but also several novels for this. The procedure of Writing a Novel is highly essential.

A novel is basically a lengthy narrative, usually in prose, describing characters and occasions. This is normally done in the module of a story sequence. Any person with a story to tell can write a novel conceptually. The actual jotting down of content however does not come easy. A lot of planning has to be done in order to bring ideas together and generate them into an epic tale. This takes a very systematic approach.

An elaborate preparation has been offered to help writers accomplish this task with ease. Whether it is the first time in the business or one has been at it for awhile, following the procedure makes it easier to write quality books. This commences with the making of a summation of all events that are intended to occur in the book. This summary has to include the people and their descriptions in relation to the storyline.

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.

Scenery is very important when planning a book. This is basically the places that the characters of the book will be taken through the storyline. As much as it is important to let the imagination run wild here, some level of reality has be inculcated as well. A four paged synopsis must be formulated and a flow of activities predetermined. The narration point of view to be used in telling the story should be determined.

Last but not least the author will venture in to the actual writing of book. This part usually comes easy especially for a person that has done the preparation adequately. Editing the created draft has to be done at this point also. High expectations should be drowned as chances are it will not be perfect. It is advised that the person takes some time off before revising the redraft.
