How do you approach writing a novel? Do you have the characters
and events mapped out in a storyboard when you start? This
approach allows you to proceed sequentially, defining the context
and the setting, developing the characters, and then the events in
order.
Or do you have the major parts mapped out in chapter titles, then
write the individual chapters? This is good especially if you like the
development of earlier chapters to guide the later chapters. This is
very common.
Or perhaps you like to pick a type of writing
(e.g., novel) and a genre (e.g., detective novel),
then start writing. In this approach, you don't
even know how the novel will end, but you are
guided each step of the way by the parts you have already written.
This may seem counterintuitive, but a lot of writers like this approach
because of its emphasis on imagination throughout.
The choice is yours. Good practice for the last approach is a team
story in which a team of writers each write their part, then pass it on
to the next writer.
Our Creative Writers Club has several experienced writers in many
forms of literature. Come join us at Creative Writing Club meetings
to share your ideas in a friendly setting, and listen to the writings and
opinions of others. You will find this very stimulating.
