Conflict in a novel is essence of drama and it weaves together all other elements of a novel. Characters bring conflict to life when they are challenged by different situations and have to make choices. In order to create conflict you first need to know the direction of the conflict and the reason for creating it. One idea on how to write a crime novel conflict is to picture a situation. For example is you picture a man driving down the highway, ask yourself why is he headed that way. Is he running way from something or is he going to visit someone special? Leave hints on where the story is headed to guide the reader. In this scenario there are many openings to place a conflict. If the character is running away because he stole something, then his car can break down and in the fear of being caught he kills the person that comes to rescue him. This causes drama and conflict with the authorities. As a result, the reader will be interested in the next chapters. If you like, plan your story ahead of time; be sure that the character has a background story. Use the characters’ past relationships to bring about conflict. A character who is an introvert may be perceived by another as proud and this causes conflict due to misunderstanding. A good novel writer knows how to twist situations and circumstances in the story to bring about conflict. The important thing to remember if you want to know how to write a crime novel is to have a good storyline. Make unexpected turns with your story. That way you are able to develop conflict and have the reader glued to the book.

How to Write a Western Novel – Writing
by admin on Jan.24, 2010, under Novel
When learning how to write a western novel, you should start off by creating strong and solid characters that the audience can identify with. Out of all your characters, have a central character that is steadfast and gets transformed to the liking of the audience. You should be able to bring your characters to life and make them believable. Remember not to leave out your main character for too long in the story since readers would like to keep track of the character. Don’t go more than two chapters without mentioning the main character. The second consideration in how to write a western novel is to have a good plot and storyline. Your plot should be full of twists and turns that cause excitement to the reader and makes the novel interesting to read. You should include the details of the goings-on of that time. For instance, if you are talking about one of the characters loading a gun, you will need to describe how the gun gets loaded, the smell of the gun and how it feels like when the bullet leaves the gun and lands on its target. Another important thing when learning how to write a western novel is that one or two point of views is used in telling the story. In most instances, an omniscient narrator is not used as it is unacceptable to see the story from too many peoples’ point of views. Most western novels do not have many sub plots going on at the same time. Stick to the main plot with few diversions.
