Rules for Writing Fiction

Rules for Writing Fiction

Rules for Writing FictionDespite the technology booming in, there are a lot of book-readers that one can find around them. With this, the writers would get a lot of scopes to come up with various kinds of works. Keeping in mind the trend and also the need to create your own anonymous blog, most of the readers get easily hooked up to a book that they can easily help them relate to their situations rather than a piece of write-up that is developed around facts. Hence, fictions gain a lot of popularity when compared to the other styles of writing among people. This is because of the writer’s way of expressing his / her thoughts and trying to influence the reader’s mind to a large extent.

Though we know that it is a story built using the imaginative power of the other individual, we try to live those thoughts as we read through the sentences of the book from our favorite author. This is because we love to imagine being somewhere or someone else that we aren’t. Influencing readers and getting them completely into the book happens only when a writer takes full grasp of all elements of literature that define a story and blend them together seamlessly with their passion for story writing.

Not everyone is skilled enough to develop fiction because that requires a lot of hard work and also ample skillsets. One could have achieved a professional degree in writing fiction but, unless and until some of the rules are followed stringently, it becomes extremely hard to bring his /her writing into life. Hence, through this article, we have tried explaining a few important rules that can help you to develop those skills that can make you one of the best fiction writers. We assume that the article inspires you to apply all these simple yet, powerful techniques and come up with a novel of your own that you would have dreamt for quite some time now.

Rules for Writing Fiction

1. Write everyday

Start writing every day. Unless and until you write constantly, you would not be able to finish the plot completely. Most of the writers forget to enhance their writing skills, and this would again be one of the major blunders. Only when you maintain the pace and also upscale your writing skills, you would be able to work on your fiction plot perfectly.

2. Work on the opposite characters

Most of the writers make a mistake of introducing the opposite characters very casually. When you are writing fiction, you must make sure to give equal importance to all the characters as you give to the protagonist of the story. Also, the supporting characters have to be defined well in order to bring out the story well. If the heroic character is given a lot of importance, and the villain lacks the same importance, then the story fails. Both of them should play an equal role in the story, and this creates balance.

3. Focus on the language

Another rule that you must and should follow as a fiction writer is to focus on language skills. While most of the writers hire proof-readers to do this bit of the job, we would say that as a writer, it is your duty to come with a story that is free of errors. As a writer, you must possess complete knowledge about the language, and only then would your story come to life.

4. Set goals

When you start writing fiction, you must be well aware of the number of words and the pages that you are going to come out with. Also, fictions are pretty lengthier when compared to other genres. Hence, if you do not set goals and work towards achieving them, it becomes highly difficult to meet the deadline and publish the novel. Hence, this is another rule that you must certainly follow while writing fiction.

Rules for Writing Fiction

5. Work on the edits

Do not submit the first draft as the final copy; you must edit the drafts constantly and also ensure to work on them with complete concentration and focus on your anonymous blog sites. Also, once all the edits are done from your end, get them checked by a proof-reader and then pass it on to the editors for further levels of refinement. Thus, there have to be levels of checking done before your manuscript reaches the publisher’s desk.

We hope that these techniques on implementing the rules to become a successful fiction writer would certainly help you when you are writing a novel of your own fiction genre. Well, all the writers are born with a passion for writing, but the successful ones would have adapted themselves to stick to certain rules, and that is what would have got them to the top. In order to become a successful writer and get yourself a label of a published author, it is mandatory to follow certain rules and apply them as needed for your benefits on your anonymous blog platforms.
