<p>Many first time authors need to take their time and learn how to write a good novel. There are many aspects of a story that make a good novel. One of the most important of these aspects is the characters and the roles they play in the story. In a good novel, the readers are able to see the fantasy world through the eyes of the characters in the novel. The plot of the story is developed through the actions, words and thoughts of the characters.</p>
<p>When learning how to write a good novel you will notice that the characters of a novel can be split broadly into two groups: The protagonists and the antagonists. Protagonists are the central characters of a book. The plot of the novel revolves around these characters. These are the heroines and heroes of romance novels. The reader should be able to sympathize with the protagonist in the novel. In most cases the readers see the fantasy world through the eyes of the protagonist.</p>
<p>The second group of characters is the antagonists. These are the characters that create conflict in the story. They are not always evil or villains. Antagonists are simply those characters that are in conflict with the protagonists.</p>
<p>As you learn how to write a good novel it is important to note that readers enjoy books in which they can connect easily with the protagonist of the story. It is therefore important to avoid making the protagonist too perfect. Include some realistic flaws that will help the audience sympathize with the character.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10" title="writer standing up" src="http://johnhalasz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/writer-standing-up1-300x225.jpg" alt="writer standing up" width="300" height="225" />Although routines and habits are effective, do not limit your writing to one certain place, time, or atmosphere. Everyday during your customary activities, there will always be “down time,” moments when you have nothing else to do and no important matters to which you must attend. You can take this down time as an opportunity to jot down ideas in your project bible.  You can write a few lines or notes to your rough draft if you use the time thinking. It doesn’t necessarily have to happen in a specific place or time.  An audio recorder is also an indispensable tool for writers because you can instantly record your ideas in the absence of a table, pen and paper. Furthermore, people&#8217;s minds often run faster than they can type.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Dead time could be while you are waiting in a doctor’s office, on a bus, or walking home. There are endless opportunities to write. Then, you can add these ideas to your finished text when you have reached your main writing place. </span><span id=":vb" dir="ltr"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">These are important general habits that each writer should develop to become an efficient novelist. But knowing these <a href="http://www.seowriters.net" target="_blank">time-saving, novel writing tips </a>are not enough.  It is also important that you understand the stages of novel-writing to adapt other kinds of effective writing habits.</span></p>
