Write a Novel. Let It Be Your Life Story.

You can rethink what you think a novel is. (I don’t know anything).

Trust me.

I don’t know what a novel is. I never read a novel in my life (Harry Potter fans, I am sorry).

That’s why despite the dire urge to participate in NaNoWriMo last year because it sounds cool, I couldn’t participate.

I still don’t completely know about it. But I’m writing a novel. And it’s based on my life story.

You’ll die dead if you don’t write a novel. Here’s why.

Everyone has a story inside but…it’s not worth a non-fiction

Nonfictions are boring. It takes time to write. Harder to read. The novel seems to be fun to read and easier to write. Sure everyone has a story inside them but not everything is worth a practical implication.

You can teach something profound to anyone with a novel. Because there’s usually no practical action to take. People understand the story based on their life situation and that’s what matters.

You’re meaningless as a writer if you can’t make people think. People pay you to make them think.
