How To Write A Book

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 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 after this has been finished, then the next step would be to create the outline of the events per chapter so that one will know what happens after what. Now the usual flow of events would be the introduction, the build up, the climax, a little twist, and of course the resolution of the hero. Now once one has already determined his flow of events based on this traditional one, then all he has to do would be to fill in the blanks as he tells the tale.

So first off would be the introduction which usually can be found in the first chapter. Now in the first chapter, the author will be introducing the protagonist and will be talking about the setting. The introduction part is all about letting the reader visualize the place and time of the story so that he will be enticed to continue reading the story.

After the hero has already been introduced fully, then the next thing that the author would most likely do would be to introduce the villain of the story. Now when this happens, the author is already reaching the build up stage because a conflict between the two is already forming. This conflict is going to be the main thing that the hero is going to fight for.

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.

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.
