How To Start A Novel Novels & Stories

A massive fortress was taking shape. Michael appearing at my side. “Bringing a piece of home, home?” Smiling, “yes. I’m a little homesick.” “What of security?” “I already thought of that. I made it so that our essence is built into our new home.” “So how will your new guardians gain access?” “Very easily I’ll add them as they come.” I smiled and leaned my head against his arm. Always perfectly content with Micheal. My calm and peace.

But when he reached the signature page, his hand stopped. “Do you know why I chose to disappear from the office?” he asked softly, still staring at the files. Bella fell silent. “Because all this time... I just followed what the world asked. Dad, Mom, the board of directors, the media. Then, finally, I was told to get married, told to have children. Even love didn’t get a chance to be chosen,” he continued while putting the pen beside the paper. “And now I’m trying to do things my way. Just this once.”

**Write Regularly:** Practice is key; establish a writing routine. 3. **Edit Later:** Allow your ideas to flow in the initial draft; editing comes later. 4. **Know Your Audience:** Tailor your writing to connect with your target readers. 5. **Start with a Strong Hook:** Grab your readers' attention from the beginning. 6. **Show, Don't Tell:** Engage readers by illustrating scenes and emotions rather than just stating them. 7. **Create Vivid Characters:** Develop well-rounded, relatable characters with depth. 8. **Build Conflict:** A compelling story needs tension and conflict.

If Phoenix didn’t publish anything new in for a long time, people would think she might have deserted. I took out another big and heavy computer, which could run fast. I typed in the password and entered the desktop. There were few icons on the desktop, but two folders. One was for my electronic design manuscripts while the other was for my novel documents. I build a new document and begin typing. The document was named, “The Rule of Nine of Pillers.” After typing three words, I was immersed in thought. I had the idea of the story, but I just didn’t know how to start it when I was about to write.

I finally started to write, or at least I really wanted to. I’d opened the text editor on my freshly new laptop and… stared at the blank white computer page for about an hour. “Why is it so hard?!” my mind felt like Sahara Desert, empty and dry. Then I decided to go on some web novel chats in search for any kind of help. “How do I start???” I cried desperately on the chat I found. “Do you got a topic?” someone asked.

Everyone is above 18, you know what I mean, wink. Questions to ask: 1. The world setting needs to be introduced in the first chapter. 2. Character, their developments, family background and personality, friends. 3. The villain, who is your villain??? 4. What made FL and ML2(the playboy) drift apart?

The story had to feel genuine and I waited until I knew it was perfect and respectful enough to write. 2. I did not know how I was going to write it. I didn't know if I wanted it to be a poem, a 50 page book, a novel, or whatever. I knew I had a message I wanted to tell, but I wanted to make the story interesting as well. So I decided to turn it into a novella, because it was not too long and it was not too short. It was the perfect length for me to create my story.
