If you’ve always wanted to write a novel and then, when you decide to start find you are stuck, don’t worry. Even prolific authors find it hard to get started with a new writing project. There are a few things you need to organize properly before embarking on your next Pulitzer Prize winning project. Working out who, what, where, when, why and how your novel will develop is a process that you need to go through in order to get started.
The success or failure of your novel will be greatly influenced by your mental attitude. If you see the project as fulfilling your dream of writing a book,your likelihood of success is far greater than if you see the project as a way to get rich quick.
Most authors will have a story about the hundreds of rejection letters they received before eventually being published. In fact, only 162,000 books are published in the US each year. That does not mean that yours cannot be one of them, but it does meant hat you should be realistic and expect some difficulty getting your manuscript published – even the bestselling authors of all time had to face rejection at some stage.
Once you have the right attitude, you are ready to look at what you are going to write about.
Obviously, you already have an idea or thoughts on what you want to write about. If you are a first time novelist, it is important for you to consider writing on something which you are passionate and have knowledge of. By doing so you will reduce the chances of you becoming bored and you can rest assured that if you become bored with the topic, it will increase the difficulty of writing your book.
Your subject for your book will also influence the style of writing you choose. If you are, for example, a school teacher and you want to write a high school drama, you should go to your local library and find as many books in this genre as you possibly can. Read them, taking note of they style of writing – casual, conversational, technical, dramatic etc. Some subjects suit a particular style of writing, and you would be well advised to stick to that style.
As you are well aware there are many other aspects to writing, which can make writing a book difficult, they are beyond the scope of this article at this time. However, by having the right mental attitude, writing about something you know or very passionate about, taking the time to develop your own style, you should be able to start writing a novel which could become the next “best seller” – especially with some solid guidance.
