• Writing a novel
    6 replies, posted
I am considering writing a novel but don't know where to write it. I have heard about a sites where you can write novels in chapters and allow users to freely read them but I'm not sure of a good one. Have you any tips about writing my first novel? Thanks
Well, if you plan to make money off of it, it's probably not a good idea to keep it all on the internet. But if you aren't worried about that aspect and are just doing it for fun, then go for it. As for tips, I'd just write whatever comes to mind and flesh it out once you get something good down, unless you're the type of person who likes to plan out everything beforehand, which is also acceptable. Any other advice I can give is mostly just my preference, so I'd say have a go at it and see how it turns out. Good luck!
Do you know of any of the websites?
[url]http://www.writerscafe.org/[/url] is a pretty popular one
I know you're banned but maybe if you look at this when you're unbanned, one thing I've heard from writer friends is the sheer amount of repetition and editing required is insane. Unless you've written before, I think you should start with short stories/novellas. That said I don't know a whole lot about writing, but find some people that do and see what they have to say

Thanks for the advice, but I have this idea in my head and just have to carry through with it although I've never written anything before...

There are a lot of books about writing books (ah!), but you should be able to find a lot of material online too.
