How to write your book step 200

Building your world. 

It’s excellent to do your research for your novel. If you are writing a book with true facts or places,  then you have to be sure of what you are talking about.  If you are creating a world and a universe of your own, then you have to be sure about the details. Do your research, but don’t forget to keep your story alive within it. World building is great,  you can have all the details of a perfect setting,  but it won’t be much of a book without the story. Don’t bury your story in too many facts and details, but don’t ignore them either. Find balance. 

Your setting without your story is a pretty picture. Your story without your setting is incomplete. 

Write your book, and don’t forget that you have plenty of time to edit later, which is where you can add forgotten details or descriptions. World building is important, but the bones of your story need to be independently strong. 

You’ve got this.

How to write your book Step 150

Representation 

There are a lot of different types of people, and your book doesn’t have to represent every single one. However it is good to remember that there is no such thing as normal. Let your characters feel free to be their genuine complicated selves, no matter who they turn out to be. 

People have freckles, and scars and pets and odd habits, they have different eye colours and hair colours, skin colours and personality colours. Let your characters differences shine out in your writing, but remember that it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Their sexuality, mental disorder or social standing, doesn’t have to be the most interesting thing about them, just another facet of their complicated lives. 

Don’t make a checklist of minorities, don’t go through ticking boxes. This will cause your writing to be unnatural and forced. Look into your story and observe the character traits that come out as you continue to write. Don’t repress anything, let your characters be truly themselves. Variety is the spice of life and your writing will benefit greatly from the reality of diversity.
