Find your idea and genre
Before you start writing, choose a topic you’re passionate about. Ask yourself the right questions:
- What message do you want to convey?
- Do you prefer to write a novel, an essay, or an autobiography?
- Who is your target audience?
Tip: Jot down notes as soon as ideas come, and keep a Lizia lamp within reach so you can write at night without disrupting your sleep.
Structure your story
A good story rests on a clear structure. The classic three-act method works well:
- Introduction: Present the characters and setting.
- Development: Conflicts, twists, and key events.
- Conclusion: Resolution of the plot and denouement.
Adopt a writing routine
Writing a book takes time and discipline. Set a realistic goal—such as writing 500 words per day.
