Understanding The First Rule Of Writing—Before You Start The Great American Book

Written by Marvin D. Cloud

Chaos and confusion come when established rules and procedures are not followed. Even mixing and matching systems to favor one’s own position can cause a great deal of consternation. In writing a book, repparttar

first rule is to know and understand why you want to write in repparttar 128447

first place.

In other words, you need to develop a theme that will answer repparttar 128448 question of why you want to write. I usually get a blank stare when I ask a budding author, “What is your book’s theme?” Eventually repparttar 128449 answer I get may be repparttar 128450 title of a manuscript.

When I explain that a title isn’t a theme, I then may hear, “It’s repparttar 128451 story of my life.” That is unquestionably repparttar 128452 number-one answer I get. There is a big difference between repparttar 128453 title of your book and your theme.

While your title may be repparttar 128454 sizzle, repparttar 128455 theme is repparttar 128456 flavor and is formally defined as a “recurring, unifying subject or idea.” This is repparttar 128457 aim or repparttar 128458 main message of your book. Generally speaking, in writing there are two themes: repparttar 128459 author’s theme and repparttar 128460 book’s theme.

The author’s theme is repparttar 128461 usual subject matter repparttar 128462 writer handles, or repparttar 128463 one repparttar 128464 writer is most comfortable with. For example, a writer may find his forte in repparttar 128465 subject matter of healing or forgiveness. Another may write most of repparttar 128466 time in repparttar 128467 area of spirituality or motivation.

Don’t confuse repparttar 128468 author’s theme with genre, which is repparttar 128469 category of writing. In addition to establishing if you are writing fiction or non-fiction, there are several categories your book may fall into. Some of repparttar 128470 most popular ones today are biography, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, romance, thriller/espionage, horror, inspirational, historical, and courtroom drama. Your book’s theme is what repparttar 128471 reader should learn most after reading your story. There are two answers that you as a writer shouldn’t give when questioned about your theme: 1) This book is about me and repparttar 128472 things that have happened to me; and 2) A rambling, almost incoherent dissertation that leaves one asking, “Huh?” Every author should ask and answer repparttar 128473 following questions: “Why am I writing? What am I trying to articulate? What kind of outcome will repparttar 128474 story have on repparttar 128475 reader and what is repparttar 128476 outcome I’m aiming for?”
