It took me a long time to write my first novel. But the final product was worth it.

It was the best book that I’ve ever written, and I knew it would be a hit with readers. I wasn’t wrong, either.

My book became a bestseller and I was able to quit my day job to become a full-time writer.

The intense tactics I used

I used two important, but intense tactics to accomplish this goal. They’re nothing unheard of — they would be in the handbook of writing novels…if one existed.

The two intense tactics I used were:

  1. I revised and edited until I couldn’t anymore
  2. I made sure that every sentence was just right

These tactics ensured that the final product was the best that it could be. The end result was a novel that paved the way to my future as an author and full-time writer.

Tips for writing your first novel

If you’re looking to write your first novel, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of success. Here are a few additional tips:

  1. Set realistic goals for yourself
  2. Create a writing schedule and stick to it
  3. Take care of your physical and mental health

Summary thoughts

If you’re writing your first novel, you need to use all of the tactics at your disposal. You want your book to be the best that it can be, and that takes a lot of hard work.

Don’t give up. Keep writing until your novel is finished. Then revise and revise more until it’s what you hoped for.

You’ll be able to achieve the same success that I did!

These tips will help you produce high-quality work and give you an amazing chance of becoming the next successful, new author. Follow them closely…and good luck!

Human commentary:

My jaw dropped when I saw the results.

Here was my original description for the robot:

a blog post that gives the account of the intense tactics used to writing their first novel

And the result is this post.

I mean…this is not a true story at all. My robot wrote this. I’m a little shocked at how human it sounds.

If you didn’t read this section of the story, would you have believed I wrote it and that it was true? I would if I were in your shoes. I might also Google the author just to “trust, but verify.”

The advice is pretty good. I believe successful authors who do well also follow these rules and/or have great editors. But it’s a bit eerie that it sounds so real, right?
