Okay, we're on a roll. So you have decided to be a writer. So what type of stories, or novels do you want to write? You must decide this very early. Often as a reader you read many types of novels or other books. Which speak to you? Most often that will be what you are interested in. But is it a field you really want to spend your time investigating. Yes, you must investigate to see if you really want to write these types of books. Often our likes fall in different fields. You may love reading mysteries, but do you love it enough to spend hours learning how to write it. If your answer is NO, then enjoy others who write it, but know its not something you feel passionate about. So keep reading what you enjoy, but look for where your passion lies, where your heart beats. Think of the books that have left an imprint on your heart and life. Books that made you want to write like that author, books that still today made you weep, and want to change the world . You can read many genres, but what one do you read over, and over again.? This is a sign to what you most likely will do good at, because its from your heart. Check out the many genres, and see what ones you read fall into them. What your favorite author writes in. Study their lives to discover what fueled their passion to write the way they write. Then study your life and see what makes you want to write in a particular genre. Study your feelings for that genre, why do you have a desire to write in that genre, what in your own emotions makes you feel passionate about it. Getting in touch with your own feelings will help you choose what genre to write in, and why. Take time to know your self, and it will make you a better writer!
Next step, Who will tell your story/1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person, or narrative!
