━━━━ when it comes to writing of book, there are no set rules you have to follow in order for your book to succeed. writing allows for authors to let their imagination run wild when it comes to creating all of their characters, storylines and the world they're writing about.
━ you must love your story. what's the point in writing something that you yourself don't enjoy? if you are passionate about it, you'll spend more time and put in more effort with your writing. authors tend to do their best when they are writing about characters and plots that they are deeply invested and devoted to.
━ while writing, withhold information from your readers and only give them the information that they need in the moment — don't drop a major plot twist on them if it's not needed, or doesn't go along with your story. supporting details for your story should remain hidden, give readers just the tip of the iceberg — as this prevents readers from getting too overwhelmed with what's been given to them, and allows their minds to fill in the blanks with their imagination and creative mind.
━ detail and complexity is delicious when writing and reading, but simplicity can also give readers the same experience as lengthier writing. you can get all your points across with simpler sentences.
━ motivation plays a key part in writing. try and write every day, or every few days: whether it's 100 words a day, or more. great writers have a regular writing habit — which means dedicating time to craft your stories. some days may be much more productive than others, so don't feel down if what's produced if you feel it isn't your best. the more you write, the easier it is.
━ set yourself milestones with writing. books can be giant, filled with thousands and thousands of words, and a mass of chapters but milestones, as well as keeping yourself motivated, will help you manage your writing and help break down your work: which will make your writing just that little bit easier in the long run.
a simple milestone like setting yourself an aim for at least 1200 words per chapter, is a viable milestone to go by and stick to.
