Writing novels

To be accurate , the time to success on being a successful author can vary greatly. It may take anywhere from 6 months to several years , or maybe less ... It all depends on your pace and publishing goals. Some authors write a novel in a year, others take longer to refine their craft. But you need to understand that : during you working sessions on your novels ... You should live the moment and enjoy the process of writing just like you're doing something you love , because that's going to unleash your creativity which is going to affect your writing.

Earnings as a novelist can vary widely. Most new authors earn little at first, and some doesn't earn at all, especially if self-publishing or posting on free platforms. But as you build an audience, you may earn through:

• Royalties: Paid by publishers or platforms for each book sold or read.
• Platform Payments: Some sites (like Webnovel, Wattpad Stars) pay authors based on views, engagement, or contracts.
• Self-Publishing: You set your price and earn a percentage of each sale (Amazon KDP, etc.).
• Advance Payments: Rare for new authors, but possible with traditional publishers.

Typical Range: There no specific estimation, and even if there is, it doesn't mean that your earnings are going to be within that range, for example: if you managed to be accepted in a program on Wattpad that lets you sell your chapters, you can set the price to $0.1 for each chapter, it all depends on your preferences and the programs of each platform. So it's better to not dream of big numbers then you get confused when you don't reach your goal fast. Eventually it's really possible that you earn thousands or even millions of dollars, but that's after a quite long time.

Tip: Focus on building your portfolio and audience first, income will grow as your reputation does!

And we'll organize them in the 'how to start section'

1. Learn brain storming: ometimes, an author gets the whole story idea instantly, as if it suddenly came to mind. This can happen with the start of a novel, its first idea, or even the opening scenes. But how can you generate more ideas? That’s where brainstorming comes in — it helps you unlock new possibilities. In novel writing, brainstorming often means spending 20 to 60 minutes alone in a quiet place with no distractions. Stay focused, avoid using your phone, and simply think about the events of your story.

   Note: Keep in mind that brainstorming can look different for other tasks, so make sure you're using the right methods for novel writing. Also, don't force yourself to brainstorm every single day. Doing it once or twice a week is usually enough to keep your ideas fresh and creative. Otherwise, you may end up with repetitive or less creative ideas.

2. Feed your brain: You see every novel that exists, every work, every idea... it didn't come from nowhere. Each idea was influenced by another one or more. and this is called "inspiration", so ... If you want to generate more ideas, in addition to brainstorming, you should expose yourself to other works — whether they are movies, anime, books, or any form of storytelling. What matters most is giving your mind the time to refresh and absorb new perspectives. And it's not like we mean that you should see other works to copy it , but your brain will naturrally connect what you've seen before to create something new.
3. Choose a publishing platform: Before thinking about approaching publishing houses or studios, consider publishing your novels on specialized platforms such as Wattpad, NovelToon, Webnovel, or Inkitt. These platforms give you the chance to reach a wide audience and grow your readership. Some of them may even offer payment for your work, depending on their specific policies and programs.
4. Consistency: Even if your novels are really good, don't expect to reach one million readers in the first month. Why? Because you're still new, and people don't know you yet. Of course, writing high-quality novels will help you grow faster, but success never comes instantly.
   Trust the process. Keep creating strong chapters for your novels, and allow readers to discover the quality of your work. Over time, this will make them enjoy your novels, become loyal fans, and help spread your name. Eventually, as you grow more famous as an author on those platforms when you keep writing consistently, your novels will gain recognition and you may even get the chance to collaborate with a studio one day
5. Algorithm? Learn how the algorithms of these platforms work. In most cases, you won't need to worry too much about the algorithm, except for a few important things:
   - Publish regularly: Set a specific number of chapters to release on a consistent basis. Even if it's just one per month, what matters is showing the platform's algorithm that you're serious and not publishing randomly. These platforms prefer authors who write consistently to keep readers engaged.
   - Create a publishing schedule: Having a clear schedule not only helps your audience know when to expect updates, but also signals to the algorithm that you are consistent and reliable.
6. Review other works: Engage with other authors and explore their works. This doesn't mean doing simple exchanges like “I'll review yours if you review mine.” Instead, it can genuinely help you get your first reviews, which will give your new novel a boost and make it more visible to the algorithm.
   By connecting with other writers, you can receive honest feedback from people who are on the same journey as you. Reading other works also allows you to learn different writing styles and discover how successful novels reach readers insights so you can help your own work reach a wider audience as well.
7. Keep Researching: Don't rely on our platform as your only source of knowledge. We are here to give you a starting point to introduce you the path. But the rest of the journey is in your hands. Keep researching, keep learning, and keep exploring new resources. The more you grow your knowledge, the stronger your skills as a writer will become.

• Always try to search on steps on the paths you chose to confirm and check, Don't rely only on our website. And we also advise you to search regularly on how to improve your self on that path.
  Sometimes you may end up deciding to learn something, starting it, continuing it, and perhaps even finishing it, and then suddenly you find yourself missing a faster way to achieve what you want, or not learning something important, or even finding out that you chose the wrong path... or perhaps worse, so research well before starting, and set aside regular time for research so that you do not miss anything.
