novel story - Creative Writing: How to start your novel


When I was in the eleventh grade, I took a creative writing option with one of the most brilliant teachers I have ever met. It was brutal, honest and very creative, I do not know why they do not receive a degree in teaching college courses. Anyway, they gave me the best advice I've ever written:
"The worst way is to start your story a" dark and stormy night. "It is done. Apart from that the sky is the limit."
, I followed his advice to heart, and the stories I wrote for their class, had the beginnings of the most creative, I had ever written.
Most of the early (and even veterans) are fighting with writers such as open their books. Dialogue? Action? Witty prose? How do you do with your novel, how many people choose to buy on the shelves of bookstores. Captivating drive should be your first priority, but as you know, when it's pretty exciting?
As you begin your novel with dialogue
I rarely have to start with the dialogue of novels, mostly because I still can never think something important to say. However, sometimes the dialogue is the best way to your new start-up will get. If your characters are in the middle of a fight or is there something you want to go full open dialogue, you can increase your player right in the opening scene of the novel.
That means we must be careful. Resist the urge to start your novel with dialogue like: "How did you feel today?" If you have an open dialogue, it must intelligent and important and exciting.
My only advice for starting your real dialogue with Roman is a single line of the speech before inserting some explanations have to. Although the characters in the middle of a conversation, do not confuse your readers give details and notices.
How to start your novel action
Apparently measures is the most popular way to begin a novel. It is exciting, fascinating and draws readers into the story before you even know what hit them.
This is especially true with the stories of mystery and suspense. In these types of readers expect from the get-go to be hanged, and they want to shock after paragraph.
As you start your novel with prose
In this case, the "prose" refers to the description. Some of the most powerful novels of all time began with a description of lassitude and lyrical
"It was the best case it was the worst of times ..."
- Charles Dickens, A valley of Two Cities
"A squat gray building just thirty-four stories ..."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Description is my favorite way to a new start, because it facilitates the reader into the story. It is not expected to make no assumptions, your reader is immersed in the fictional world you've created at your own pace, and the other does not.
The only problem with this method is that you describe a unique opportunity, the opening scene. My advice is, on the characters and the setting and choose to think on a distant object comment. It takes your player from a particular place - the subject - and in a complex scene - from your opening. For example, one of the books that I ghost several years ago began as follows:
"Filled out in a room with fine antiques and art objects from ancient Egypt and Rome, the digital clock like a sore thumb. It's flashing digits Green drew attention to the clock, as if to say, I may be new, but I 'm still important. It seemed strange that someone would be so demanding and as old as the world Cunningham Thompson III build on such a clock technology. "With the attention of your readers something trivial, they are twice as captivated as you on the floor arrive.
