So, /lit/, I usually don't post anything here, but I'll give it a shot.

I am planning to write a novel, about romance mostly. Or very passionate friendship; either of those. But I am unsure about what things should I do/avoid when I'm writing a novel.

Can /lit/ give some advice? Are you an writer yourself or an bookworm? I'd be really grateful if I'd get some help here.

yeah, because the world needs another shitty romance novel

Thanks.

don't consider writing until you have a creative urge to write something. If you have nothing to write, don't write. Read, watch movies, listen to interviews, fuel yourself until something starts to come out more or less fully formed.

Stop shoehorning this basic tumblr teen.

I'm being sincere you jackass

And... perhaps get out and have some interaction with real people. There's a reason that good novelists were good with people. Poets not so much, but OP isn't writing sonnets

Yes, this.
Give your brain emotional material to work with. Feel happiness, feel sadness, feel empathy, feel pain. Care about things, give a damn. That's where your writing is going to come from, and if there's nothing there it's going to show

Oh, okay. I definently can go and have some feels, lol. Currently, I am not in a rush too, so time's on my side. Thanks, anons!

don't take it sarcastically he's not fucking kidding
>>
>>8114808
And I'm being sarcastic.

When you are done writing and publish it you are going to have beg and take every opportunity for people to look at it, like me. I just published a free ebook called Seeking Sophia by Adam R. Shipley and you can find it on smashwords.com

This is bullshit advice. If you want to write, you have to force yourself to write, whether you want to or not. It's like exercise.
>>
>>8115338
you sound upset.
why are you upset?
did you frequently wet your bed as a kid
and now of emotions you yourself want to rid

do you really honestly believe that any of the greatest breakthroughs in any area of human civilization were achieved by people "forcing" themselves to be creative against their will?
