5 Quick Tips for Completing Your Crime or Legal Novel

11/23/2011

0 Comments

 
November is National Novel Writing Month.  In honor, here are five quick tips to help get that crime or legal novel completed (or started)!

1.  Write everyday, even just a little bit, preferably at the same time and place, so it becomes a habit.

2.  Create a writing routine, whether it's where you write or how you write.  Again this helps form writing as a habit and helps trigger your brain that it's writing time.

3.  Write when you are most creative.  Some people write best in the morning, others in the evening or middle of the night.  Go with your flow.
 
4.  Change your writing environment.  Sometimes routine can create stagnation.  If you have writer's block, change it up.

5.  Get inspired.  Watch true crime news shows or read great crime or legal novels, and get inspired for your own story!
