These elements are guidelines to assist you when writing your next novel. Having these in place will bring your book to life and will draw the readers into the pages.
1] The Plot - this is the structure of your book. This forms the storyline, and how everything starts and ends.
2] The Setting - where the story takes place, where the story goes. This also determines the time and place where specific actions occur.
3] The POV - this determines who narrates the story, the point of view being what drives it. How the story flows is determined through this method.
4] Characters - these are the "folks" in your story. The ones who solve the problems, those who are the problems, and those who appear to "fill" the story and make it interesting.
5] The Theme - this is the foundation, what happened and why. This is the purpose for which the story is told, the message of the story.
6] Genre - this determines what kind of story you are writing about, i.e. a crime/suspense thriller, a romance, or maybe a memoir style story.
And that's it folks, authors, readers, writers. Enjoy the journey ahead and get your ink on paper and get going. Have fun!
