How to Write Your First Novel in 6 Steps

Many writers put off writing the first sentence or the first chapter until they are comfortable with their characters, plot, themes, and. In spite of the pleasures of free writing or stream of conscious improvisation, the majority of novels are composed after an intense period of brainstorming researching, outlining, and brainstorming. Certain authors have already requested notes and suggestions for their ideas and outline from editors and other trusted associates before beginning to compose the first sentence in their book.
1) Find a story concept in this universe that you would like to get lost in
Novels are not just an assortment of locations and time spans. They need to have a compelling story that keeps readers engaged throughout its beginning, middle, and even its final. Decide on the story you’d like to tell, and ensure that it is able to sustain a complete novel. If you are concerned that it will not be able to keep a reader’s attention for more than a hundred pages you might consider converting your story into a short piece instead.
2) Choose a location you would like to spend long periods of hours in
Your novel will need readers to become immersed in a certain world for the time they are reading. Additionally, the novel will demand you, as the author to become absorbed for months, weeks, and possibly years in the world. Choose a setting and time frame that is interesting to you and keeps you captivated. Do you have multiple locations? It’s fine but doesn’t forget the importance of simplicity in storytelling. Don’t overwhelm your story with location-specific changes.
3) Create a cast of characters
Now that you’ve created an idea of a world and story you can figure out who the main characters in the story are. Your protagonist is clearly the most important one among them. A well-developed principal character will have a full and detailed story that you, as the writer, can learn about from their personal background to traits of character to the most successful and unsuccessful. The more you are familiar with your characters’ personalities, the better you can talk about the characters to your readers.
4) Plan your climax
It’s possible that you haven’t planned the start or middle of your story yet however, you should think about the experience of a reader. The portion of your book that they will be able to remember is most likely to be the conclusion. Make sure that you’ve created an unforgettable ending, regardless of whether you’re writing an acclaimed thriller or a somber character-driven piece that is literary. From the standpoint of an author having a clear end established can assist you in creating an entire story with characters that are all driven by the desired conclusion. How do you plan to reach this conclusion you’ve created?
5) Break the story into acts
If you’re aware of the direction of your story now is the time to reverse-engineer the story by breaking it down into parts. The classic stories are written in a three-act structure that concludes each act with a significant point in the overall story. If you allow your story to build gradually throughout the book and you’ll have an excellent book from beginning to end.
6) Start writing before you get cold feet
It’s great to plan, but don’t let too much planning distract you from completing the task that will be writing your story. The draft you write for your novel’s first chapter might be awful it could be completely rewritten when you’re done, however, it’s essential to start without thinking about it.
