By Daniel Anderson


We live in an era whereby knowledge and information equal to power. Knowledge can be defined as a familiarity, understanding or even awareness of a particular thing. For a person to be termed as knowledgeable, they owe to have several things such as facts, descriptions, information and skills as well. This can be accomplished through either an education or experience. Reading books is one way to gain such awareness. The process of Writing a Novel is very elaborate.

A novel is basically a particular kind of book whose purpose is to narrate a story. This story can either be a tale of the past or simply the imaginations of author brought to life through the use of characters. It is not an easy thing to accomplish however. The person has to be highly motivated and dedicated to this particular interest. In addition to that, the person has to also follow certain steps.

In order to accomplish any task, the person has to be keen and make ample preparations. This is irrespective of whether this task is simple or complex. Writing a summary is a very crucial part of successful book writing. This summary should describe the activities and characters in book briefly. No names or any other special features should be mentioned in this summation.

The next step is providing a description of story. This part of process requires the author to write more about the summary. The description should make up a complete paragraph of about six sentences. A common structure used by authors is the three-act one. This structure comprises of the introduction, middle act and the end section that requires the story to climax. After this final touches can be done to make up for loose ends.

One cannot write a book without putting emphasis on the creation of characters. Characters are basically the people that are used in the developing storyline. A detailed description of these personalities should be undertaken during this procedure. The crucial details that one should create carefully include the names, work, goals, motivating factors and conflicts as well.

Character build up continues to the point where they posses birthdays, special traits, economic activities and a sense of history as well. These people are also expected to evolve in personality and characteristics throughout the novel. This evolution has to be scheduled systematically as to blend with other events taking place.

Another important part in the process of writing is scenery setting. One should really make an effort of exercising their imagination at this level. A synopsis should be creation with about four pages to it. Among the other things to determine here is the trend and unfold of events, view point in use at the narration and the tension points as well.

The process of writing the body of the book is yet the most tasking one. It takes a lot of concentration and patience as well. On completion, this person can either review the work in person or use a second party they trust to do this. After the first work has been reviewed, the author can embark on redrafting. One should take their time when it comes to making the final copy.
