Handwriting your Novel

Handwriting your Novel

BLOG SESSION

December 6th, 2017

Good Evening Writers, Authors, Novelists, Poets, Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors ~ We're back for another great Blog Session.

As we continue to discuss writing our Novels this month, today's Blog Session will focus on handwriting your Novel.  In our last Session we discussed the topic of "Typing up your Novel".

Many Writers have long since abandoned the exercise of handwriting their Novels, while others stick with the tried and true way to get their Novel down on paper - - handwrite every word.

Handwriting your Novel

All you need to get started on handwriting your Novel is a great Notebook or Journal.  You can use the ink pen of your choice ~ preferably one that is a smooth writing ink pen.  I'm telling you this, because many Writers seem to think that the computer is the only way to get their Novels written.

Getting your words down on paper in ink gives your Novel the commitment needed to get you engaged.  There are other Writers that like to use pencils so that they can erase and do their corrections.  Commit in ink.  If you need to change your writing you will just have to draw a line through what is being corrected, then write the changes.  What happens when you commit in ink is that you will always be able to look back at what you have written, even if you have drawn lines through portions of your writing, you will still be able to see what was once there.  If you are the kind of Writer that flip-flops back and forth on what you would like to say and how you would like to say it, then the ink method is my suggestion for you.  Writing in ink will lead you to be more focused and more decisive.

Author, your Novel is calling out to you . . .

"Finish writing me"

  

Just when are you going to finish the Novel that you keep talking about?  How long before you simply sit down and do it?  What exactly is slowing down your progress?  Let me just say to you, there is no justifiable answer to those questions.  You simply must sit down and write.

If you are still in the process of sorting out your Novel...

Maybe you are still working on the genre, title, overview, plot, characters, personality traits of your characters, background of your characters, character names, scenes, descriptions of the cities, towns or countries in your story.  That is fine.  You can use a notebook or journal just for your novel ideas and notes.  You can call it your Novel Idea Journal.  Having several Notebooks and/or Journals is not a bad idea.  You may have several ideas for Novels and you can use a different Notebook or Journal for each of your Novel ideas.

Your collection of Journals

for your

Novel Ideas

      

Pull out all of your creative juices to get yourself started on your journey to the write novel.  The write novel is the novel that all of your novel ideas lead you to.  The Novel that is calling out to you to be written is the one that will jump out at you and scream ~ write me!
