How to write a book!

Hi! I am SO bored of doing reviews, so I decided to show you how to write a book!

Step 1. Choose what genre of book you would like to write about!

You could write a fantasy book, or a murder, or an adventure story! You could even write an autobiography! Anything you want!

Step 2. Where in the world?

Next, you have to choose where you set your book. You can set it anywhere from Asia to Africa and you could even set it on a completely different planet!

Step 3. Pick a hero and a villain!

After you have finished picking your setting, time to choose a hero and villain. Most books have a protagonist and antagonist (a fancy name for a hero and a villain). Take Harry Potter, for example. The hero is Harry Potter but the villain is the evil Lord Voldemort. Make the hero a likeable character, so your reader will be on that characters side. Also, try and make your hero have a weakness or two, or the story will get boring. Your villain should be evil and should try and get in the way of the hero. Is your villain too bad? Maybe he/she has a soft spot for animals and keeps lots of them as pets!

Step 4. Create a plot!

Now, create a plot for your book. I sometimes use something called a storyhill, which helps you make a basic plot for your story to run along. You draw a hill on your paper and the left side is the beginning and the right side the end. The peak is the middle and that’s usually where there’s a problem. Maybe your character has to find a hidden object before it’s too late? Or maybe your hero needs to save someone or something? The choice is yours!

Step 5. Get it down on paper!

Finally, write it down! Your story will be amazing, and after that, you could even adapt it into a show and do it in front of your friends and family! Maybe, one day, your book could even get published!
