TypewriterDesire alone is not enough to write a novel . Training and writing exercises are not enough, nor are stories written and sent to literary competitions and competitions. Not even the talent that one thinks he possesses is enough, because that is hidden from the writer, it is revealed after his book has been published, after it has been read and judged. To write a novel you just have to start . That's the whole problem. Start. Until you start putting the first word on paper, the novel is just an idea, a mass of notes, a list of scenes to insert and a list of character names without a soul.
Like when building a house, until you place the first brick on the ground, the house is just a drawing on paper and a wish to be realized. The novel that one Special Data wants to write, as long as it remains in the writer's mind, in his notes, is only a desire yet to be fulfilled. If one has in mind to be published he must consider that: when he has finished writing his novel, he has to wait some time to re-read it, let's say three months is fine; he must therefore reread it and correct and revise the parts that he does not consider good, and this takes another few months.
Perhaps; he must send it to a publishing house, finally, which has clearly written on its website that it will give a response within six months, but only to those it has judged worthy of publication; if the manuscript sent is considered interesting, the writer will have an interview with the publishing house, or more than one, to define the bureaucratic part (publishing contract) and the technical part (proofreading and editing); whoever corrects his draft will take time to do so; the author will have to make corrections; the editor will spend time studying his manuscript and talking and dealing with the writer to revise the text; you will have to decide on the cover; the book, corrected, will go to press; the publishing house may have its own publishing schedule and publish the book the following year.
