Where Do You Begin When You Want to Write Your First novel?

Writing a novel is dream that many of us hold in our hearts, your novel does not have to be your dream. All you need is to dedicate some time to learn how to bring out that novel inside you. A new e-guide, Bring out the Novel Inside You, has been written to help you make your dream come true. Here is some great advice from this e-guide on how to begin to write your first novel.

You want to write a novel, perhaps a mystery. Maybe it’s a saga, or a short story.  Or perhaps it’s your very own biography. How do you get into it?   Where do you begin?  With that question, you may have opened up more ideas than enough to take you into a great story.

Writing An Outline

I guess it’s a matter of working methods and whether it works for you.

An outline is seeing the whole story in your mind’s eye and writing a specific outline from beginning to end. If you can envision the whole story it may be a system for you.

What Is A Protagonist?

Here’s one suggestion for novels; one I use more often than any other.

I listen. I hear someone say something like: “Why is youth wasted on the young?” Provocative perhaps, but nonetheless worthy of discovering your ideas on the subject. Or, for a saga you may sit and mull over a few things and wonder why man seemingly needs to land on Mars.

Then there’s always the romances already built within our systems. Sooner or later, in our own life, we fall victim to them. There is no end of subjects for writers to develop. The difference between oneand the other is the way in which it’s presented – from your personal point of view.

What Shall My Genre Be?

Shall I write a fictional novel? Or will I concentrate on mysteries. Maybe historical fact is more for me.

Or… I could try all three – and even more.

Once you decide which genre (genre is the style of book you want to write), suits you best, you may again wonder:

How do I Begin?

There are several methods. Some find just a “working title”. Believe me, the very title will conjure many ideas for beginning. Let’s look at this suggestion for starters.

Take an hour or so and sit and write just titles of what could be a novel.

Here is what an example of what I mean:

“The 39th Message on The Cell phone” (woooooo – scary).

“’A Row of Shattered Titles” (Did the roof cave in?)

“A Well-Known Confidential Record” (a comedy, no doubt).

I could go on all day long, but I want you to understand that JUST A SIMPLE TITLE can give you so many ideas you can complete an entire book.

That’s why I say there is no such thing as “writer’s block”.

Stay with me here, because we are now going to begin to write a story about a family of survivalists and we’ll title it “The Last Climb.”

At present, we have only small ideas we would like to expand.

You can grab any title out of thin air and make it work.

That’s where authors begin. They take a headline from some publication.

Or, they have a “beef” about something that’s going on in the world and, heaven knows, there are plenty to choose from these days.

It doesn’t take much to find a title.

Bring out the Novel Inside you is a great e-book, but it isn’t going to be just a dull list of rules and regulations for you to follow or commit to memory. Nothing is more deadly to the senses than that and, heaven knows, there’s enough deadening of senses going on without more. Instead, the e-book is more like a conversation between the author and the reader. That’s much more palatable, I believe.

You can start to bring out that novel that is inside you today!

Little Novels of Sicily


Little Novels of Sicily


$15


FIRST PUBLISHED in a single volume in 1883, the stories collected in Little Novels of Sicily are drawn from the Sicily of Giovanni Verga’s childhood, reported at the time to be the poorest place in Europe. Verga’s style is swift, sure, and implacable; he plunges into his stories almost in midbreath, and tells them with a stark economy of words. There’s something dark and tightly coiled at the heart of each story, an ironic, bitter resolution that is belied by the deceptive simplicity of Verga’s prose, and Verga strikes just when the reader’s not expecting it. Translator D. H. Lawrence surely found echoes of his own upbringing in Verga’s sketches of Sicilian life: the class struggle between property owners and tenants, the relationship between men and the land, and the unsentimental, sometimes startlingly lyric evocation of the landscape. Just as Lawrence veers between loving and despising the industrial North and its people, so too Verga shifts between affection for and ironic detachment from the superstitious, uneducated, downtrodden working poor of Sicily. If Verga reserves pity for anyone or anything, it is the children and the animals, but he doesn’t spare them. In his experience, it is the innocents who suffer first and last and always. "The Little Novels of Sicily have that sense of the wholeness of life, the spare exuberance, the endless inflections and overtones, and the magnificent and thrilling vitality of major literature."– The New York Times "In these stories the whole Sicily of the 1860s lives before us . . . and whether his subject be the brutal bloodshed of an abortive revolution or the simple human comedy that can attend even deep mourning, Verga never loses his complete artistic mastery of his material." — The Times Literary Supplement From the Trade paperback edition.

Collected Novels and Plays


Collected Novels and Plays


$19.99


Following the widely celebrated Collected Poems , this second volume in the series of James Merrill’s works brings us Merrill as novelist and playwright. Just as in his poems we come upon prose pieces, dramatic dialogue, and even a short play in verse, in his novels and plays we find the rhythms of his poetry reflected and given new form. Merrill’s first novel, The Seraglio , is a daring roman à clef derived in large part from his early life as the cosmopolitan son of Charles Merrill, one of America’s most famous twentieth-century financiers. Written in a highly refined prose that owes something to Henry James, the book is a compelling portrait of the luxury and treachery swirling around the Southampton beach house of an irrepressible family patriarch, with his many mistresses and ex-mistresses in attendance, told from the point of view of his lively but troubled son. At the other end of the narrative spectrum we find The (Diblos) Notebook , an experimental novel in which a young American’s adventures on a Greek island are deconstructed and assembled into a tentative fiction before our eyes. Merrill’s plays, including the one-act comedy of manners The Bait and the Chekhovian The Immortal Husband —a reinvention of the myth of Tithonus, who was granted eternal life but not eternal youth—are also fresh turns on his characteristic themes: home and travel, reality and artifice, simplicity and complication. And, for the first time in print, here is Merrill’s short play The Birthday , a fledgling effort written in 1947 and a fascinating window onto the concern with spiritual communication and the otherwordly that would later blossom into his great epic, The Changing Light at Sandover . From the hardcover edition.
