Just about everyone has a story inside of them, but who is brave enough, determined and, possibly, stubborn enough to actually write it down? Quite a few start, but very quickly realize that theres a lot more to writing a novel than it seems, and give up after a chapter or two. We all read novels and enjoy them, getting caught up in the fun of the characters, the world or the plot. But when you actually sit down to write your own book well, thats when a potential author discovers whether theyve got what it takes to actually make it through to the end.
There are a good number of factors that go into writing a book youve got the few Ive mentioned already, characters, the world or setting, and the plot. But youve also got to consider point of view, dialogue, and how youre going to engage your reader in the story. And then there are those nitty-gritty details like how are you going to begin writing your story? Are you just going to sit down at your computer and stare at a blank page for a while until the words come to you? Or do you plan your story first plot out whats going to happen and when?
