Novels In A Nutshell

Successful novels seem to be based on the 3 essential ingredients of story, relationships and objectives.The story is what you want to do with the characters, events, and changing circumstances to make it interesting for the reader. Relationships are about how the characters relate to their acquaintances, friends and soulmates and the events that come between them. Objectives involve the resolution to the following questions:

1. We always want what we can't have.
2. We always dream of what we can't have.
3. We're always attracted to the ones that don't want us.

Thanks for the comment... When my memoires have been published after I have become famous and killed myself in some very dramatic but romantic manner I would like to make sure that none of my work is questioned... Will you please make a reference to me?

Thank you so much, it was very exciting to see an outside source reading my blog, I hope you continue and are able to enjoy it... good luck
