So You Want to Write a Novel

Fractured Light

I’m dying, I thought. This was unexpected and not at all how I envisioned my death. I was supposed to die gardening in a flowerbed as a hundred-year-old woman, not as a seventeen-year-old trapped in a lake beneath inches of ice.

Llona Reese is used to living on the run. After a Vyken killed her parents, she knew they would eventually come for her too. She can’t take any chances. But when she starts to make friends for the first time in her life, she gets careless and lets her guard down. Big mistake. As an Aura, Llona can manipulate light and harness its energy. But if she wants to survive, Llona will have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use her power as a weapon against the Vyken whose sole desire is to take her light. Now she’s caught in something bigger than she can understand, with a power she can’t wield, and no one she can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger.

So You Want to Write a Novel

I believe there comes a time when we all want to write a book, whether a haring tail of adventure and fantasy or simply our life story, an itch begins and we must scratch it if it is ever to spread. It takes a lot of time and dedication to write a novel so you must find your "mojo" and let your characters, even if its yourself, out into the world where you'll spank it hard and let it inhale its first breath of life. It'll scream and cry at first and beg to be put back where its safe and warm, but you mustn't give in.

Take care of them, feed them, and soon you'll discover your characters like being in this world, or more importantly, that you like the characters and want them to stick around. Once you fall in love, there's no turning back. You want to see your babies grow up. Sure they might annoy you until bludgeon them to death, but then you just create new babies.

First you must find what helps you write. For me, it's music. I'm convinced in every note there is a story waiting to be told. There isn't a song out there that I can't write a story to. Try it. The next song you listen to envision action. What's happening? Is someone fighting? kissing? dying? If music doesn't work for you, try writing in silence, try different chairs, different locations. There's a Bermuda Triangle out there for all of us and as soon as you find it, new worlds explode into creation.

Now grab a pen and paper and become a God.
