How To Write A Book

By David Gray


Creating a novel is all about patience because the initial stages of writing it would be quite difficult even if one already conceptualized the idea. Of course crafting the idea is one thing but putting it in paper and creating a flow is another thing. Now if one would want to create a novel of his own, then here are some tricks on how to write a book that are helpful.

Now when one has the idea in his mind already, all he has to do would be to create the story flow. In order to do this, he has to first create the setting which would consist of the place of his story as well as the timeline. Another thing that he would have to make would be the major and minor characters which would include the protagonist, antagonist, supporting characters, and extras.

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 in this very stage, there might also be a twist that would happen as well. Now a twist is an unexpected event that would happen in the story that would affect the way that the story would turn out. It would usually happen during the climax but sometimes before.

Last would be the resolution wherein the hero has already resolved the conflict. Now the author can choose to create either a happy ending or a bad ending here. It does not really matter as long as the hero has already resolved the conflict that he was battling during the earlier parts of the story.
