Novel Writing Tips

Every writer is different, but there are basic principles that call the process of writing - we are the universal factors, guiding forces, or whatever label seems appropriate.
The problem for many writers is to see the burning process to end. Finishing a book can actually be more difficult than writing the majority of IT. So you want a novel, maybe you began to write and finalize it can not. Here is a writer (my) view of the writing process, how to approach, treat, and to give the desired results. Note that some of my own strategies are unorthodox, they are strategies that I applied for my writing in my learning from other areas of daily life.
1) Apply the process of writing as if you build a house. You must first drawing. Then you have the necessary manpower. You have to dig the foundations, organize materials and construction of the hull of the original house. What I really always is the need for patience. Do not expect one on the keyboard for a few days the hammer and have a finished product. Your drawing and excavation of the foundations are your first draft. You can not build a load of concrete blocks and expect a Taj Mahal to now? Step by step is the key. If you set the first set (the first stone), you have to accept that you are still a long way to painting the front door in your favorite color. Writing a novel is very difficult work and requires an approach of three dimensions. The 3 D - discipline, determination and commitment.
2) Ditch perfection. There is no such thing as perfection. If you have a project, you must first of all you can with certain elements of the script to be dissatisfied. The first project, a company should be free. Resist the temptation to revise wrote another chapter that you because you are locked in a vicious circle of unrealistic perfection that does not exist anywhere on Earth.
3) to move on. Applies to this last point that I made. Never go back and everything you write the book to end when you are stuck in a mentality of the review, can hinder attempts to find a satisfactory conclusion.
4) Allow time for reflection. The process of writing is more than just bashing on a keyboard for a certain number of hours per day. From your letter, you must think about your next chapter, think about the whole project, if you stare at the sky, as divine. Do not rush to embrace the process and allow time to think - about your structure, rhythm, character motivation, story ideas, language, conflicts. I have a technique and it goes like this. I write up so that I and run 6 miles tomorrow, and while I ran, I think, and working conditions through my ideas for stories that reflect on the structure, the whole situation, a few scenes written yet not I, and the all-important end.
You must take control over the process. Do not let the process take control of you. Do not rush the process, have it forward Organic and activities are outside of the letter that stimulate your mind and allow decent time, to think about your novel.
5) The revisions to your first project. Do not worry if you re-read something and think it is the gap. This is called cut, and it is always better to have too much material than too little. Working through the chapters in chronological order and with itself and with the process ruthless. Remember that perfection does not exist. You must give time for your efforts and your work can be seen on the world if you are 100% satisfied or not. And remember that if your work is good, some people hate and some people will love it. Accept that this is how reality works.
Here you will find the freedom that the end of the shaft and make your work there. Do not be afraid of criticism. You've finished a book, and takes a monumental degree of discipline. Build your home and enjoy, but remember that it is just a house - it can be hit by lightning, it could be flooded, it may even fall, but at least had the courage to construct. t
