Although there are no strict rules on how to write a novel because it largely depends on your creativity and your writing skills, there are some basic things you should know and do to make your novel more interesting to your readers.

Get inspired: You produce better output when you’re inspired. You can receive inspiration by observing people, taking a walk, thinking at your favorite spot, watching a movie, among other things.

Get organised: Account for your characters, your plot, your theme, the setting and so on. Write them out to have a general idea of what you want to write. You can also consider starting with a summary before you proceed to write the full novel.

Start writing: After your initial planning stage then you can start writing your novel. At this stage, don’t bother editing until you have finished your first draft and also make sure you don’t write the book half way and abandon it. Ensure you finish what you have started.
