For Novel Authors: A simple 101

You have a creative itch, but after scratching it, noone wants to read your brainchild?
You have an awesome idea and people would love it, except they "forget" to read it?

Look no further, for I will now compose a simple list of advices I have for you as a reader and as a writer.

In this booklet here, I will try to build for you quick and conscious points.
Word count? Never heard of it.

There will be increased passion on points I find extremely important. Do realize: I may try, but writing this kind of thing will need my personal thoughts. I will try mentioning it before I start monologuing.

The advices will include examples a few times. Your novel is in "Rule X: How to not be a b!tch"? Honestly, too bad. You made a mistake, I will tell the world I found it and how to avoid making that mistake in my oppinion.



To preemptively answer some questions:

Q: "Yo, 11. You got no novels, b!chboy!?"
A: "You are right, I currently only have an old draft of a novel replaced with blank spaces. Thanks for pointing it out!"

Q: "Eleven, I thought you said that this will be useful..?"
A: "Yes, and it will be. I'm not planning on a 1000 chapter tutorial on how to form coherent sentences, I want people to realize that I can't read thoughts through a screen on the other side of the globe, no matter how many times they try."

Q (unlikely): "I like your work and want to contribute my own thoughts as a reader or writer. How do dis?"
A: "My gods.. Quick, capture it! It's a rare intelligent specimen. I. Must. Record. (Read: Comment. As I previously mentioned, I'm no Omega level psychic.)"


If you still feel adventurous, go ahead. I'll post a Rule every once in a while.

May we meet again,

Eleven
