What Are the Best Writing Practices that make you an accomplished writer?

  • The initial step of writing

Many writers are interested in writing but need more time due to busy schedules. They have two options that help them create their book. Either they take professional writing assistance or try writing a book themselves. The book editors to prepare an attention-grabbing outline that provides a visual representation of the book. Detailed chapters, a dramatic plot, and captivating characters offer a structure and keep the story organized.

Conversely, if a writer plans to write himself, it is significant to make a consistent plan that keeps them motivated. All you need is to keep a notepad or a journal, or a laptop to capture your ideas. Some authors make bullet-point lists, draw mind maps or sketch their characters to create an engaging storyline. The best part of your planning is to mark free time on the calendar. Utilize the time when your mind is free; it will generate more ideas to mind. 

Identify the purpose of  writing the book.

A narrative with a purpose highlights the author's voice to tell a story that resonates with readers. Before writing a book, writers must know the audience's preferences and interests. For instance, if they are writing a fiction story, they should be aware of the storyline and characterization that attract the audience. Writing an essay help writers to know the topics that academic students prefer reading. Writing articles or blogs enhance the knowledge of the general public.

By creating engaging content, the author intends to influence and trigger the reader’s mind to look through the book with deep interest. Consequently, an inspiring book will help the audience to relate the story or events to their lives.

  • Setting the theme 

A theme of the novel ties the readers from the beginning till the end. The profoundly moving and stirring concept helps readers to become a part of the story. The theme is built through narrative and is one of the essential elements of a novel. The theme reflects what the author is trying to convey in the story. Short stories focus on one theme, whereas books have multiple subjects. The concept of the story develops from the plot. The story's events demonstrate the theme, allowing the readers to relate their life to it. Therefore, the central theme should be influential, meaningful, and based on real-life instances. 

  • Sensational Plot 

The storyline gradually moves from an enflaming incident to rising action and reaches a climax. A dramatic plot creating a sequence of events creates thrill and suspense in the story. An exciting storyline represents the novel's characters, roles, and essential attributes. While crafting the action, the writer emphasizes keeping a fast pace and rhythm of the story that attracts readers toward those exciting events. Moreover, a strong plot invokes sensation in readers. For instance, if you read a sensational text like ‘Her voice is more beautiful than any woman. And there is the powerful smell of jasmine and clove.’ Or watch suspense and sensation in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic crime novel Crime and Punishment. The murder scene occurs early in the novel. The hero, Raskolnikov, is not aware that the victim’s sister, Lizaveta, has entered the victim’s apartment while he is searching for valuables to sell. As she moved into the room, he jumped up, seized the axe, and ran out of the bedroom. At the same time, she was standing and gazing in bewilderment at the assassination of her sister.

Setting a strong and dramatic plot compels a writer to continue to work on the story. They learn how to build suspense and lead the story to the climax. Conversely, an unexciting plot may make writers lose interest, and they may stop writing.  

  • Fascinating Character 

While conceiving different characters in fiction, a writer develops specific questions regarding the nature and personality of a character. For instance, readers want to read enthralling scenes and characters with whom they can identify and relate their life instances with them. Harry Potter and Tywin Lannister have unique personalities that provide entertainment and create a dramatic effect on the story.

Consequently, a novel comprises main secondary characters and secondary narrative characters that build up the main plot, leading to subplots and climaxes. If you have read the book, The Lord of the Rings, you may agree that fictional characters like Gandalf and Bilbo create a sensation in readers. They tend to disbelieve that the characters are unreal. They get engrossed with them and want to learn more about the characters. Some readers sympathize with them or learn from their experiences. Hence, a sensational novel triggers readers’ senses, inspiring them to imagine different scenarios and helping them conceive an inspiring ending.

  • Bring more intense  and strong emotions in readers

Another essential step that can help writers create an outstanding manuscript is to inculcate strong feelings generated while characters face several obstacles in the story. Book writing services use the element of conflict in the story to make it engaging. It depicts how the protagonist faces barriers and how they will achieve them. 

At this stage, the readers become deeply engaged with the story. The element of emotions follows the dilemma. The audience begins assessing how the characters will overcome all the mounting obstacles. The audience develops emotional responses such as love, anger, agitation, misery, hopelessness, and determination. Consequently, dramatic and exciting conflict with action keeps the readers engaged.

  • Humor can be an effective tool in books.

Readers like humorous characters in the memoir. Funny and crazy dialogues keep readers turning pages and create an immersive experience. It is observed that amusing and lively discussions keep the writer and the character linked together. Moreover, the positive chirpy conversation has a positive and energizing effect on the audience.

  • Impactful narrator’s voice

Another effective technique that book writing companies adopt is the author’s writing style. For instance, some writers use a first-person narrative that builds relations between the narrator and the reader. In comparison, many prefer writing in a third-person narrator's neutral voice. It creates objectivity, awareness, and knowledge among readers. The touching voice of the storyteller truly touches a reader's heart. Book lovers wonder what will happen in the end, which motivates them to read the next chapter with keen interest and curiosity.

Consequently, the book's tone creates positive emotions of love, empathy, joy, and humor. It develops a feeling of pain and misery and inspires readers to seek forgiveness. As observed, dramatic scenes and actions scene drives reflect real emotions in readers as most of them are found thoroughly enjoying the story or hysterically crying. Such emotions depict their true feelings of sympathy and sadness developed while reading the crucial part of the narrative.

  • Keep up the momentum of writing

To become distinguished writers, you should continue to unleash your writing potential. When you receive creative ideas, pen them down. Remember, continue writing! This could be the beginning of creating special unique, and enthralling for your readers!

To Recapitulate  

An eye-catching manuscript revealing emotions makes stories more credible for the readers. While reading the book, the audience develops a series of emotional responses such as love, anger, agitation, unhappiness, determination, and bravery. Emotionally instilled messages have memorable impacts as audiences tend to relate to their lives. Thus, a well-written emotional narrative will encourage them to take action and bring a positive behavioral change to their overall life pattern. (SJ/GP)
