Tricks to Write Hit Novels

I'm always surprised when I hear that budding novel writers are looking for a trick to write hit novels, as if there is a secret button the successful writers know about that no one else does!

Well listen to this: There is no secret to writing a novel when it comes to what to write or in what style to write in. The trick that all successful writers use are more to do with the state of mind needed to write a great novel.

Do you want to know the state of mind all successful writers use to create award-winning novels? A Zen-like laser-focused visualization state, that is oblivious to the physical world, and totally absorbed into the creative constructions of the universe of the novel.

This is the greatest secret to writing an excellent novel. Get yourself into that state and you can write novels as incredible as anyone on the face of the planet. Don't believe me? Then here is an exercise you can try right now to find out this truth for yourself...

Go into a quiet and comfortable room with no distractions such as a mobile phone. Also, make sure you won't be distracted with email alerts. Be well fed so that your body cannot distract your zen-like novel writing state. Make sure nothing is going to distract your senses in the physical world, so that you can safely enter the mental construct you will be creating.

Ready? Take some deep breaths. To get into the the mental state necessary to write a great novel close your eyes and focus on 'a scene'. Get clear pictures and emotions of a scene in your minds-eye. Don't think about plot, as that will come later.

Once a scene vividly manifests into your mind try and develop it further into something you can totally immerse yourself in. Get it as clear as possible in your mind in the form of pictures, characters (no names) and emotions. These are the essence of the scene.

The novel will basically be made up of several scenes which interconnect. Think of scenes that raise a strong sense of emotion. These are what make novels great and the writers behind them successful
