Hello everyone! I need some advice from you experienced people. I'm good at this but I don't know where to start. Because i'm all mixed out, so i'm hoping for any good advices in how to start a novel. Thank you!

Don't you have more specific questions? :\ There's no one way I could give to answer how to write a novel. What are you having issues with?

Umm, how to start it? When its your first time you can come up so many ideas that's why I dunno how to start it maybe you can tell me how do I or how can I focus on one thing?

>>3 There's all different things to "start". There's the story, the characters, the outline, the writing, the editing, etc. But if you mean just picking what plot to go with, that's the one part that you can't really get much help with.

My suggestion is to write down a synopsis for each idea. List the characters for it and figure out what the basic story would be like. Whatever plot idea seems more solid is the one to go with.

>>3 Also make sure to always have a premise, concept and a theme to every plot. If any one of those elements is missing, there is a very high chance, that your story isn't going to turn out as well as you thought despite your best intentions.
Also, don't ever start writing a story when you still don't have any clue on how you want to end it. Always have at least some skeleton for the story, how you want to structure the storytelling, so you can lay out your twists beforehand.
And also I totally agree with >>4 lay some stories out if you're not sure and scrap anything that's not thought out well enough compared to the above mentioned criteria.

AH, I see. Thank you! I'm way to far for you guys. Maybe you more experiences. Can you recommend me a good book? Or something that can give me enlightenment? Hahaha. I have my storyline now, i'm too confident about it. But I can't say it without readers comment. I dunno if Manga and Books can have the same flow when making stories? What do you think guys? Are they alike? or can they make the same flow? My kind of story is they need images so that they can grasp what I really want to say. :D By the way, thank you very much! You're a great help! ;)

>>5 I have to disagree with that second paragraph. The amount of detail work you do before writing is completely dependent on the writer. Some work better having everything outlined from start to finish while others are more comfortable starting with a vague idea and pantsing it along the way.

You have to figure out which one is more comfortable for you.

>>6 There are a ton of great books, but there are just as many sites and blogs about it. Search "how to write a novel", and you'll come across at on of useful references. Just remember that books and blogs alike are often written from a biased point of view, so be sure to look at plenty of different opinions and compare them to figure out what applies the most to you.

Manga and books should really not be compared when it comes to flow. If the reader needs images to grasp what you're saying, then either 1) focus on creating a graphic novel instead or 2) learn how to describe things. You can always make a novel with pictures here and there, but you need to be able to describe it so they understand without it.

>>7 a ton of*

Something that helps a lot with describing things is vocabulary. There's a huge difference from saying, "Her dress flowed in the wind," compared to, "The chiffon pleats of her skirt rose in the light breeze." Learning words often used in fashion, architecture, photography, weather, transportation, etc can have a major impact on how easily your descriptions will be understood. Though it of course depends on your audience; adults will better understand "obelisk" (a stone pillar of particular detail) in place of just "pillar" (a vertical structure) than a teen might, for example.

Thank you for your help. I see, I really need to read more books, I guess? Thank you for sharing. Now I know what I lack. But don't mind number >>5 Every jndividual has their own reasoning and perspective! Right? :D I'm not angry it's just that you are all helpful in different ways. THANK YOU! BarabiSama

>>9 Yeah, it's good to study up on :3 And no problem~ Good luck with your stories.

The best advice is just to write. The more the write, and practice, the better you'll get.
Just be sure, when it comes to writing a novel, to have an idea you're really passionate about.
And when starting, always try to start as close to the main conflict as possible.
