Do you want to write a book? Perhaps you feel you could, but think that you need some training first. Yes, that may help, but in this article I'll share a method that you can use immediately, even if you're a completely new writer.
Over the years, I've written many books. I've come to know that starting and completing a novel or nonfiction book just means putting one word after another, and not stopping until the end.
Here's my super-simple and easy method to help you to write a novel.
1. Brainstorm a Title
An inspirational title can act as the compass which guides you from beginning to end.
Start by selecting a genre: mystery, romance, science fiction -- your choice. Not only do readers in a genre respond to an evocative title, booksellers have expectations of titles in a genre too -- they want to know in which section of the store they should shelve YOUR book.
Let's imagine that you're writing a mystery.
Look at your bookshelf for inspiration, or check out the bestseller lists to get into the mood to brainstorm titles.
Mysteries will often include words like: "death", "bones", and "murder."
The only criterion your novel's title needs is that it should be mysterious.
Set a timer, and brainstorm titles for five minutes.
2. Brainstorm a Fantastic Situation, the Crazier the Better
All done? Excellent. Choose a title -- any title from the ones you've brainstormed. Remember that you can always change your title later. Your publisher my decide to change it too, so you don't need to obsess. A title just gets you moving forward.
Now you have your title, it's time to brainstorm a fantastically crazy situation.
Mysteries usually involve a crime of some sort, often murder. So, who's your victim? Why was he/ she murdered?
How was he/ she murdered? Where was he/ she murdered?
At this stage, you don't need a complete plot, you just need enough material to become enthusiastic and inspired.
So there you have it. Brainstorm a title and a situation, and you're well on the way to writing your book.
