How to conceive a novel
Thinking about a novel is a creative process. Different people have different methods, but here are some steps that might be useful: 1. Decide on the theme and plot of the story: You need to determine the theme and plot of the story before you conceive the novel. This would help determine the direction and structure of the story. You can write down your thoughts first or ask a friend or family member for advice. 2. Creating characters: The novel needs to have a deep group of characters. Each character has their own background, personality, goals, and motives. It would take time to create a deep character group, including the name, appearance, background story, personality traits, etc. of each character. 3. Outlining: Creating an outline can better organize the story and ensure that the story develops on the right track. An outline could be a simple list of the main topic, plot, and characters of each chapter. Create conflict: conflict is the core of the story. Create some interesting and exciting conflicts to attract the reader's attention. They could create conflicts through competition, complementation, and conflicts of interest between characters. 5. Start writing: Once you have an idea and plan, you can start writing. You can start from a simple plot and gradually expand and explore the inner world and motives of the character. 6. Revise and edit: After completing the first draft, you will need to spend time to check the novel and revise and edit it. You can ask a friend or family member to help check or use some editing tools to further improve the novel. Creating a novel requires patience and creativity. Through constant exploration and experimentation, you can discover new story elements and inspiration.
