coming up today five tips to create a brilliant novel degrees a brilliant novel you need to tell a brilliant story it really is as simple as that but how I can hear you cry telling a great story comes down to five simple rules if you follow these there is no reason why your story won't be considered fantastic and we are talking about the opinions of prospective publishers and agents not just your grammar so how do you create a brilliant novel one which is fast paced moving and original you need to show a publisher that you have knowledge that you have authority and an understanding of what your audience wants if you can do this successfully you are sure to impress so here are five great tips to help you on your way tip number one make your story a sense sensation your characters need to be believable and engaging your descriptions need to be delightful and imaginative the five senses play a crucial part in involving your audience in your story giving it texture and depth we want to see what they see hear what they hear feel what they feel if you omit this from your story it will fall flat and our next tip is be odd erratic haunting and idiosyncratic to create believable and interesting characters they need to behave a certain way simple straightforward characters who look nice and nice and say nice things are only useful in your story if they are there to create a stark contrast between themselves and other more important characters in your book make your characters irrational give them unusual appearances quirks tics hobbies but do it softly your readers need to understand your character's motivation for behaving in the ways that they do they like weird but they will want to understand why it is easy to emphasize with people's irrational behavior we all act like this from time to time so make sure you allow your characters to do so too otherwise they may well come across as rather dull tip number three be free one of the greatest difficulties writers face is themselves we are obstructive negative and often downright cruel to create a brilliant novel you need to free yourself from yourself allow yourself to explore scary sad mad parts of your own being really getting there go deep and inspect all the ugly things that you don't like to show to anyone else then use them if you are daring in your writing it will be exciting if you are honest with your feelings it can lead to some uncomfortable moments but if you channel it all into your writing and refuse to be self-conscious or restrained then you can produce some great content and next be clever if you have an idea for a story that is complicated and intelligent don't shy away from it because you are worried it won't appeal to a mass-market the truth is that most avid readers are educated and affluent and these people are more likely to buy a book that appeals to their Intel Agence a publisher is far more likely to be excited about a book that presents a clever idea rather than one that is clearly dumbed down simply to try and appeal to the lowest common denominator don't insult your readers don't underestimate them people like to be challenged they like to escape resist the need to over explain everything it makes for awkward and slow prose use your words carefully and selectively to portray what you mean and have faith that your readers will get it and number five make them laugh and make them cry one of the most important things to achieve when creating a great novel is getting your reaction from your reader your book should make them feel something if you are writing a funny story then aim to make your readers not just smile or half chuckle but bend over in gasping and embarrassing hysterics on the train if your story is sad for yes.i or solitary tear have them sobbing snotty and heartbroken if you can evoke your design response from the reader you're doing something right if you can make them both laugh and cry you are on to a winner agents and editors are highly skilled when it comes to seeing the weaknesses in a story but they will also forgive many flaws if an author shows bravery and skill follow the tips which I've given you here to engage your audience to be true to yourself and hopefully creates a brilliant novel in the process and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help
