How to write good English novelsHere are some ways to make a good English novel:
1. ** Language basics **
- Pay attention to the case of the letters. In certain five cases, the letters should be capitalized. Punctuation marks must be used correctly because the standardized tests in the United States, the SAT and ACT, both tested the use of punctuations, which was very important for English writing.
- From vocabulary, phrases, grammar, sentence structure, etc., he gradually established the language foundation of writing.
2. ** Concept **
- Let the mind wander to construct the novel. You can try to write freely and see where your initial idea is going. You can also create an outline to cover the elements or plot points you want. You can draw or map the characters or story arcs. You can create a list of things you want to include. Deciding the type of characters in the novel, the background that suits them, and the type of conflict they will encounter, this stage does not have to be perfect.
3. ** Character Creation **
- It was clear that the character was the main body of action in the novel (people, animals, monsters, inanimate objects, etc.). Most novels have protagonists (main characters) who experience personal changes in the midst of conflict. Opposing the protagonist was the opponent, which could be another person, environment, or an aspect of the protagonist himself. The friction between the protagonist and the opponent constituted the conflict in the novel. Other than the main character, the other characters were supporting characters. They had different roles in the novel.
4. ** In terms of background settings **
- Choose the location and time of the novel. The location and time can be real or fictional, or set in the past, present, or future, such as Tokyo 1973, Mars 2144, Middle-earth T.A. 3018, etc.
5. ** Plot and narration **
- Understanding the plot was the literal order of the events in the novel. The narrative and the plot were intertwined, but they were not the same concept.
6. ** Writing materials and accumulation **
- In order to write a specific plot (such as information on mental illness), they had to visit relevant places (such as mental hospitals) and do research.
7. ** Dealing with writing bottlenecks **
- Endure boredom and loneliness and persevere on writing, because writing bottlenecks are common. You have to rack your brains to come up with ideas to solve the problem.
- Allow for small deviation from the plot, because the story may develop to a certain extent, the characters and plot may have their own ideas. Don't be afraid or worry about your lack of writing strength.
8. ** In terms of emotional arc **
- The six emotional arcs in English literature could be used to construct the emotional vein of the story. These six emotional arcs included the "self-made"(continuous emotional rise),"tragic" or "family decline"(continuous emotional fall),"cave man"(falling first and then rising),"Icarus"(rising first and then falling),"Cinderella"(rising-falling-rising), and "Oedipus"(falling-rising-falling).
9. ** Writing process **
- Warm up before writing, understand and analyze the writing topic, learn the core vocabulary, read the sample essay in the form of a story, and do reading comprehension exercises.
