Writing combines natural talent with perseverance, determination and the ability to work on oneself.
Instructions
Step 1
Improve your skills and abilities. Write as much as possible. Try different genres and formats of works. Read a few books on writing. Chat online with aspiring and professional authors.
Step 2
Do not start work on a book without prior preparation. Study the place and time of your piece. Consider the driving conflict. Be sure to outline the beginning and ending of the main storyline.
Step 3
Think over the character and external features of the main characters. Make a personal card for each hero. Indicate in it age, name, origin, education, social status, habits, etc.
Step 4
Decide on the target audience for your book. Books written for children, adolescents and adults differ significantly in the complexity of the language and the richness of the narrative.
Step 5
Try to make every line work on the development of the plot. Avoid beautiful but unimportant descriptions and witty but empty dialogue.
Step 6
Use dialogue wisely. Speech is a great way to characterize a character. In addition, dialogues can easily present any idea or possible plot twist to the reader.
Step 7
Leave room for the reader's imagination. Don't overload the narrative with details. Try to create the picture with a few bright strokes.
Step 8
Work on your book regularly. Set yourself a daily writing quota. After you finish working on a draft, read the book thoroughly several times, making edits to the plot, removing unnecessary things, and completing the broken storylines.
Step 9
Send the finished work to the publishers publishing the literature of the corresponding genre. Attach a description of the book to the letter: genre, target audience and a summary of the plot.
