Paragraph Perfect Planning: Lavish Novel Writing Fun
Reading is magical for many of us. Reading novels can be hard to fit in with family and work responsibilities, but when we do, the rewards are priceless. So whether you’re writing your novel or just thinking about writing a novel, here are some quick and easy ideas to make the magic of reading move your writing words. Then let these simple clothes make your words dance so that they are pleasant to read.
Comfort: Curl up in your favorite chair, the comfortable one in which you love to read. You will find that you will love to write novels wherever you like to read novels. Rest into those luxurious feelings and let your relaxed mind and body run wild. Let the reader in you guide the writer in you. Write the magic words that you would love to read. Write for your own pleasure so that you fall in love with your own novel writing process.
Music: Line up for a few hours of your favorite music so you can stick around and enjoy your novel writing. Let the music wash over you and whisper ideas into your writing. Be adventurous and create an entire soundtrack for your novel, then write as you listen and imagine. Then you can conjure up that magical state of mind at any time, just by relaxing to the soundtrack of your novel.
Fire: With your chair by the fire, stock up on logs the day before and write with a fire as a warm companion. If there is no fire on hand, use a recording of a fire on your television and wrap yourself in a cheerful blanket while you write. Roast marshmallows or almonds over the fire for an occasional treat while writing a novel. Enjoy your fire even more if the weather outside is threatening and gloomy.
Games: Enjoy some little games to make your novel writing fun for you. Base a scene around a word, but don’t mention it. Write a passage where nobody speaks and everything is transmitted through actions, objects and the environment. Include a symbolic object in your writing and have it reappear in scenes throughout your novel.
Candles: Distribute some night lights around and dim the lights. Light some taller candles inside glass lanterns to make them glow in the dark. Feel how the ancient traditions of all the writers of the past come alive in the light of your dreamy candles. So open up and write. The wonderful scents of scented candles can also fill your senses and spill over into your novel writing.
