How to write a book.
Are you one of those people walking around with a great story but do not know how to write it on paper?
Well look no further as we at Lizmar Publishers can give you some tips from the experts - yes indeed it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel, by following these few steps should get you going.
As individuals, we all do similar things differently. With writing a book it is no different. There are a thousand different methods and as the Writer, it’s your decision because in writing isn’t always a perfect process.
Here are some simple steps:
Step 1. Some writers like to first map out their story ahead of time, while other writers jump into the story headfirst. While writing your book you will proceeds backwards, inside out, or upside down more often than forwards.
Step 2. Figure out what your story is going to be about and write a one sentence of what your novel is going to be about. Spend some time on this as this will be of great use later as a marketing tool for your novel.
This is called the plot. A plot needs a beginning, a middle, and an end. So to start, decide what the novel is about. Once you have the central idea your story will develop into a full fledged plot. It also must have conflict and a resolution pulled on by believable motivation that will make your writing static.
Take some time and expand the first sentence to a full paragraph describing the story setup, the major disasters, and then the ending of the novel. This should be about five sentences.
As a guide, each of the disasters takes a quarter of the book to develop and the ending takes the final quarter.
