How to write a different book

In today's article I would like to comment on some ideas for that book that you are probably thinking of writing and you want to give it a different touch, get the reader's attention and make it special.

I would be lying to you if I say that there is something new to write, any subject has already been done, so let's try to give our point of view and refresh that idea.

Although not only would guide me to look for a good idea for a book, perhaps your place is in a song, a poem or a scientific advance,What do I know? What is clear is that if you look at yourself you will find the answer and success that you crave.

We will review some ideas so that when you have your story thought out, if you need it, you can support yourself, although if you tell something from the heart you are sure to be successful.

1- The bad guy and his story

Perhaps it is a simple way to attract you with this title to talk about good and bad, but it goes beyond that. The idea is that the good and bad are not like that and that's it, I mean, if you have a good main character, why not have flaws? We all have many. Your character will be credible with his virtues and flaws.

The same goes for the bad, Why only have negative connotations? Just as he has reasons to be bad, he will have compelling reasons to have been a good person.

Also, why not even tell it from the perspective of the bad guy? Perhaps he perceives the good as evil.

It's like telling a love story from the position of the deceived wife or husband. Why not tell it from the position of the lover or deceiver? May have compelling reasons to do something like this, even if there is no possible justification, depending on one's morality.

2- The princess is in another castle

In clear reference to Mario Bros, the ideal that the boy should always get the girl should not be an obligation, even though the novel focuses on the search for love.

Why limit yourself to telling the story of the encounter? Let us look better at the meaning of the search, rather than the idealization of the encounter.

Finishing a novel with a question or with a slight bitter aftertaste on your lips can motivate your readers to jump out of their seats and look for answers to the questions you have opened in their hearts.

3- Start at the end

We like the order too much and it is not good either, a twist of the plot from the beginning will get the readers do not expect it and you will make the reader believe that things are not as he believes.

Forget the typical introduction, middle and end. It is obvious that it is a logical order but if we want our readers not to take our eyes off the letters, we must do it.

4- The protagonist does not achieve the objective

As we said in point 2, it is better the adventure itself than the end, nor will we put a quick end and no grace but it can be a nice end not to achieve the goal.

What if our hero fails? Let the reader want to stick leggings and go out to save the world, feel the impotence of not being able to help.

A great impact could be achieved by killing the protagonist a few chapters of the end and giving the baton to one of the secondary, Luigi can also save the princess, does not have to be always Mario.

We would be leaving the standard so there is no greater impact than breaking the rules.

5- Forget the happy ending

How we like being happy and feeling fulfilled, right? For in the novel should not be so, do not please the reader with what he wants to hear, make him feel uncomfortable that he feels the need to realize that things do not change by themselves, we must all contribute.

In the end, teaching the negative part is another way of rejecting evil. Because in the real world justice does not always reward the good and punish the bad, Why is our book going to show such a manipulated reality?

As I said, we will inspire us to get out of the established and achieve a better world, enough of injustices and no one wants to see reality.

What do you think of the advice? Do you have others? Share your feedback and get something great.
