Writing a book is not an easy thing. Writers need to be committed, passionate, and creative to successfully make a novel. Good novels often show a great reality and allow readers to find the truth in the world that is fabricated. So, regardless of what type of novels you will be writing, either romance or horror, you need to have a boundless creativity in making your outline, revise, and edit them as much as possible.

Actually, being a writer requires you to get inspired at all times.

In choosing a genre, you should also think about your audience as you begin planning the outline. You can also find some major works that may fall into a chosen genre and try to understand it including the construction of these stories as well as the standards of a story.

Once you decide to which genre to write within, plan about the setting of your story. You should not focus to only one setting only and start dreaming big. The setting you are thinking will actually identify the mode and tone of the story which could affect the problems that your characters encounter. You also need to think about questions as you outline the book.

Actually, protagonists do not have to be likable, but they should be able to be related to something else in a way that readers will stay interested.

Actually, visualizing your plot should be the next step to think about. Novels regardless of their genres have some sort of disputes and conflicts. Problem and tensions are present to the climax of the story but can be resolved in any way. Actually, a novel does not have to end a happily ever after lie fairy tales. It is like giving a motivation for the characters to add a meaning of the book.

In order to create a perfect outline, it is best to read a lot of books particularly ones relevant to you genre in any way. This is crucial before, during and after you have created the novel. This is helpful in many ways. Keep in mind that characters with different and similar personality traits should be compared to each other and your own as well.

When writing a story, as a writer, you should not feel emotional or sensitive when it comes to negative feedback. Once readers comment about your stories and advised to change it, then make sure not to change it directly. It is important to make changes not because they want it bit for the betterment of your novel.
