Everyone has a story - it does not matter, if the story is fictional, fantasy or how to manual - everyone has a story. So if you are stuck on one small, insignificant detail - namely, that you do not think you know how to write new fiction book, there is hope just over the horizon. Carry on, brave writer, and you too will be published one day! There are a number of online resources available to would-be writers, so get on the Internet and get started today - after all, there is a novel inside you, just waiting to be born. Be a midwife of words and bring forth your brainchild!

Of course, you want to write new fiction book, not just keep a journal, so you will need a plan to follow, because the curse of a writer is lack of discipline. Set a time and place to learn how to write novels, adhere to it no matter what happens. Write a certain number of words every day and resist the urge to edit any of it. Wait until you have finished your fiction novel and only then should you edit - or better yet, have someone else read it over and make suggestions.

Now, you will need to develop a story, a plot, characters, and decide what sort of story you want to tell. Many writers suggest starting with something that you actually know first hand as the best way to learn how to write a novel. Do you know how to ride a horse? You have a horse race? Some writers have made their careers by writing about what they know. You can do this also! Try starting with a specific program, one that helps you structure your writing schedule to accomplish a novel in 30 days or perhaps 100 days. Regardless of what method you choose, just get started and write - every day!
