Today we are going to talk about something that ordinary
people might not know exists. We are of
course talking about writing discipline for novelists.
This is something different from creative limbo where
creative people simply run out of ideas and while they can be similar in some
instances this is different.
This is partially a creative Limbo. This is when you
simply are not finishing the novel because you are not writing daily due to
different reasons.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
Before we go to the root of the problem, we have to
understand what is the problem.
A full-length novel and novel writing is generally hard
work. You might find that a novel can seem quite large and you might find that
it can take weeks and months for a novel to get completed.
However, the novelist should not look at the whole
picture and must focus on simple things like how to compose a paragraph and how
to expand on the writing idea.
This is like climbing a set of stairs. If you start
thinking about how many stairs are there then that may baffle you and you might
not even start taking the stairs.
However, if you simply begin climbing one step at a time
then by the time you might have thought about it you will have actually reached
the top.
This is exactly the case with writing and we are going to
discuss how productive writing works and how you can finish your novel.
ACTION PLAN THAT WILL HELP NOVELISTS
WRITE EVERY DAY
THESAURUS
If you are a writer of any
kind or if you are a novelist then you must know this problem that occurs quite
often.
Often times what happens is
that you are trying to write something and you simply cannot find the perfect
word to describe what you mean.
You might come across a word
that is nearly identical and sounds alright but it’s not the perfect word that
you are looking for all you might find something rhyming but the meaning is
different.
It is exactly for these times
that you need to get yourself a thesaurus.
It will help you from the
speed breaker that you have encountered in writing and you can move ahead with
the paragraph instead of waiting for other words to pop up in your mind.
RESEARCH
You can write about anything
and you can write about anything that does not even resemble humanity or humans
but there might still be loopholes that can pop up at any time.
You might write about a future
civilization but if you get something wrong about how electricity works then
that can leave a gaping flaw in your novel.
In order to avoid these kinds
of scenarios, it is best that you do intensive research before you are going to
write about something.
If you are writing about
something that is historically similar then it is even more important to
research the actual event so that you can get everything right even if it is
fiction.
The other important thing that
research will do is that it will allow you to stop waiting for inspiration
because research is an excellent way to get inspiration as well as ideas.
WRITING
The actual activity of writing
can be vastly different for different people and the techniques that they apply
can also be quite different.
Before typewriters it was
simple, you simply needed to write what you felt with a pen or a quilt and you
did not have any other options at hand.
When typewriters came, you
then had to decide if you wanted to write by hand or type it out. You can find equally good examples of world-famous
novelists who preferred writing by hand or typewriter.
Then came the advent of technology
where you had easy access to voice recording machines and some novelists even
preferred using that.
The best option and the latest
option that we have available today is voice typing.
Many modern novelists simply
love technology and love using whatever is at the bleeding edge of technology,
including voice typing.
The advantage of voice typing
is that you can get a lot more words if you are speaking than typing or writing
by hand.
There are also disadvantages
to this that you also have to think twice as fast because it is like changing
from a bicycle to a motorbike, things will be different.
However, if you can manage to
do that then you will be at a good advantage.
SCHEDULE DISCIPLINE
While some might say that you
should write in the morning and others will say that you should write at night,
we would not tell you how to write because that is extremely personal to you.
However, what we will tell you
is that you must always write at the same time as you usually write because
there are clear advantages to doing that.
The biggest advantage is that
you will be used to writing at that particular time and you will develop a
habit of writing.
The second most important
advantage is that you will develop a discipline and that always plays an
important role and can help you stay focused.
TIME
Time is of the essence when
you are writing and you must understand that time is so important to writing
that there are a few things you must remember.
The most important thing to
remember is that you always need to keep extra time in hand for writing.
Perhaps this is your first
novel and therefore you are not earning from writing and so you probably have
another job.
So, you must always keep in
mind that you have to reserve a few hours that will only be dedicated to
writing and nothing else.
Even if you do not write every
day, you must always keep those few hours empty and simply try writing.
If you keep those few hours
every day empty then one day you might be able to muster up the inspiration to
actually write.
These were a few of the important things that will help
you on how to write more words every day.
