Writing a novel is not as difficult as you might think Cheap Eric Rowe Jersey , and completing a novel is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. However, it's not without its problems.
Many people dream of writing the great American novel, you know the one, the book that gets accepted and published by a traditional publisher Cheap Shaq Mason Jersey , hits the New York Times bestseller list and the author makes loads of money and never has to work a traditional job again. Unfortunately, this can be an unrealistic view of what being a successful writer entails. I don't mean to say this doesn't happen but it's rare. If you are serious about being a writer and successfully writing a novel for publication then there are some steps which may help you along your journey.
1. You should treat your writing as though it were any other job you wanted to do well at. Now I realize this sounds ominous to those of you who may view your writing as relaxing and fun, but I've found if I don't treat my writing as though it were a job, I don't write. The main point I'm making here is that you must carve out specified blocks of time each day to work on your writing.
2. Exercise each day. No Cheap Kyle Van Noy Jersey , I don't mean go sit on your exercise bike for 30 minutes, I mean practice your writing. You can do this by keeping a journal or diary, writing short articles, or writing poetry. I'm sure if you think about it you can come up with others.
3. Make sure you show and not tell. This was one of the biggest roadblocks for me when I began writing as I had a tendency to 'tell? my story rather than 'showing? the reader what was happening. Showing is where you use descriptive language to create a picture that the reader can see in hisher mind Cheap Elandon Roberts Jersey , whereas telling is where you simply are relating what happens without giving the reader any language that helps them see it in their mind.
4. Create goals for your writing. Goals such as how many pages, paragraphs, or words you'd like to write each day. Also keep track of the goals you complete on a calendar, that way you can see how often you reach your goals Cheap Adam Butler Jersey , and if you don't reach them you can come up with ideas to better reach them.
5. Write in the same place every day, and make sure it is a place where you won't be disturbed for your set amount of writing time. On the couch with your laptop or notebook propped on your legs watching television would not be a good choice. Neither would a room with no door that can be shut, or which is close to where there are a lot of distractions such as the noise of people talking.
