Notes, Notes, Notes: One of the most important resources
in creative
writing is quite simply your mind.
You should be coming up with new ideas all the time
(provided of course you do not have the dreaded ‘writers
block’) and to remember all of these you’ll
have to make notes. If you note down when the idea first
strikes you it can be assessed and developed at a later
date, but those ideas are like gold dust – hang
onto them. Our novel writing
software can help with this aspect
of the creative process by taking your notes down and
ordering them in a proper format for easy review and
revision. Much better than scraps of paper stuffed into
an envelope!
Funnel your creativity: At some point all your ideas
will have to fall into some type of format to form a
story or tale. If not, then your novel would just be
a mish-mash of people, places and scenes which do not
fit together into a compelling narrative. This order
and structure may not come naturally to you, and it
may take time and many revisions before you can make
everything fit. Indeed, many of your ideas may have
to fall by the wayside at the expense of your storyline.
NewNovelist software can help your creative
writing with prompts and tuition
on plot points to structure your novel correctly.
Read again and edit: Novel writing can be a long drawn
out process, even if your creative instincts are sharper
than most. Often, to obtain the optimum format for you
book, rewrites will be necessary with changes and alterations
to many aspects of the story. Our software allows you
to back-track and make these changes without fuss. This
means that you can concentrate on the enjoyable bit
- creating an interesting and compelling story - rather
than spend your hours moving text and copy to and fro.

Information about NewNovelist:
|
|
Creative writing and learning how to write a novel can be exceptionally
hard. First, you have to learn the basics, then you
have to practice….and practice…and practice.
And you also have to research what makes a successful
novel. The vast majority of novels adopt a basic formula,
and we incorporate these within NewNovelist.
Whilst throughout these additional information pages
we have provided tips and “how-to” advice,
the real gold dust is in our software program (available
on CD or to download). It is based on tuition from the
leading university Creative
Writing course in England (University
of East Anglia), and uses templates to provide you with
the structure you might otherwise spend years researching.
These templates can teach you the basics to writing
all different types of novel: crime, mystery, detective,
fantasy, childrens, thrillers, military and many many
more. In short, it provides you with a virtual tutor.
In addition to the template structure, there is context
sensitive help available – advising you on timing,
tone and beat – and scores of examples drawn from
modern and classical literature. For beginners this
will be a revelation. For more experienced writers it
provides a welcome refresher.
Whatever your standard of writing, and whatever your
motivation, if you want an all-in-one writing course,
advice, tutor, editor and note taker you should buy
NewNovelist today.
