The Keys To Successful Writing A Book

Before you begin writing your book, it is recommended that you start doing some research. Even if you are writing an autobiography should look back at your life and your mind to recall events, anecdotes, names or places. You must investigate any case as this will allow you to prepare a book more authentic and better written. Nothing could be more negative than present a book with information or wrong data.

Find several successful books in the genre you have chosen. To do this research may use both the local public library and the Internet. If you plan to write a fictional novel, it must further deepen this research. For example, if you are writing about a murder mystery, you need the police procedures and the way in which criminals are caught. You can get this information even through internet. Some authors even go to take classes in schools and universities to learn in depth and be better prepared on the subject they wish to develop.

In any case do not let that scare you or discourage you. Many writers are so obsessed with research sometimes forget that the ultimate goal is to write the book. This is precisely what you should not do. Find out enough to get the necessary information and correct, but do not try to write a university thesis. Too much can also research that creativity does not flow naturally. An interesting way to investigate when it is conducting research after finishing the first draft. Or investigate as you type. Internet makes it much easier, making it easier than ever. You can get as much information for his book if you own and use an internet connection.

It's an idea to do some research sudable about the characters in his book, even if they are fiction. Get the facts about different personality types may possess the players according to their role in the book. A good writer always seems to know much about psychology and how people think and behave. In fact, if you want to learn more about the characters that you create yourself, the more easily achieved by reading or studying about the basics and deeper because of human psychology. The authors are even more creative lessons from psychology to fully understand people's reactions to different situations. Knowing how others think and react, you can bring a lot more work than if only limited to their own perception on how to react to an event. It will also help with the dialogue. Real and believable dialogue are important when writing a story. If you know how and why people react in a specific way and use certain words, your characters will provide a greater depth.

In addition to research their characters and the plot of his book, also be sure to analyze what factors make a book is a good book. You can take a writing course or join a group of writers. The more interaction you have with other writers, the better your results.

There are conferences and workshops for writers to which you may attend. This may be an important part of your research process that allows books to write better and better. But what are the components that make a good book?

A good book always has:

ConflictoUn tridimensionalesUn believable characters and conflict resolution clímaxUna

You must present some kind of problem or conflict from the very beginning that grabs the reader's curiosity and attention. This conflict will be resolved at the end of the book. This does not necessarily mean that his book should have a happy ending, but do not stop hanging and unresolved issues, unless that is their true intention. Also remember to lay out his book so that it reaches a climax, which should be built throughout the book.

Another thing to determine is the point of view to use when writing his book. You can opt for the first-person narrative, which is perhaps the easiest way to use but limited the thoughts and actions the protagonist and narrator of the story. You can write in third person and also do it from the view of the protagonist of the story. When written in third person may also deepen the vision of other characters in the book. Of all the styles of writing, the third person omniscient, that is within each of the characters is probably the most complex to use. Read books you like and see which is the style that is closest to the one you want for your story. The view you use can make your book a success or a failure. For example, the novels of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle failed to start, until the renowned author changed the view from the Dr. Watson, who was the first person observant.

Besides the view, you must also decide whether to write in past or present. Many books are written in the past, although you may want to look at "Presumed Innocent" by Scott Turow for an example of first person present tense narrative. Write on this is usually more difficult, but provides more action to the story.

Do your research studying other books and his own style to select the point of view and time that suits you and your book. First person narrative is the most simple to start, but has its limitations. Third person omniscient is the most complex, but it opens the book to the thoughts and feelings of other characters in the story. This study must be conducted before writing the book, but can be changed if you find that does not work for you and what you want to communicate in your text.
