jgi6b2 | writing_train | 0.73 | What's the best way to go about writing a short story or novel for a beginner writer? I'm here seeking advice on the best way for a beginner to go about writing a short story, and later a novel. To specify, I have an idea that I want to turn into a novel, but first I wish to create short stories of it in order to test it out. The way I'm going about it is creating the plot, theme, characters (using character profiles), general world-building ideas, then writing. but, is that an efficient - or well advised - way to go about these things? What would be the best way, if not? | g9qm9mp | g9qm9re | 1,603,439,288 | 1,603,439,292 | 7 | 8 | I think a lot of people would say, "whatever works best for you". Since you're new, you still need to figure out what works for you, and the only way to do that is to write. I say pick a plan (plot it or don't) and just go for it. | There is no best way, different methodologies work better for different people. | 0 | 4 | 1.142857 | ||

My personal (right) way is to focus on the chararcter, delve into their world, what tensions they are going through, what goals they are trying to achieve and follow from there. Plot and theme come from them and they don't matter in the moment, world building isn't as important as chararcter (but obviously can inform them).

And, depending on the genre you write, it would be worth sitting on them to rapid release. | I started book 2 in an infancy, story outline while in editing of the first. I chose to go with a prequel. I think it paints a lot of the gaps and allowed me to feel confident in book 2. But I would most definitely start. Good luck with your series! | 0 | 449 | 1,000 | ||

I did a draft of book two (and three) between editing and beta reading (alpha reading?) of my novel and it lead to me gaining a better understanding of my characters that I was able to use in my rewrite of book one.

Study grammar, word usage, and the details of the written word. And then, once you’ve done that, just write. It may not be easy at first, but the more you write, the more comfortable you’ll get and the more you’ll develop your own style and figure out how to say the things you want to say. Also, if you get a local library card, the Overdrive app is great for checking out books electronically without having to go the actual physical library is that’s a barrier for you.
