RE: Good advice for starting a novel?

To start, the best way to prepare is to actually write one. Very few people get their first novel published. Pretty much the only way to write a good novel is to have experience. And you can't spend too much time preparing, or you might lose interest in your work by the time you've got everything figured out. It really shows in your writing if you aren't interested in the story anymore, unless you're one of those tank writers like George r.r. martin or Tolkien who can spend a lifetime on a series.

Also, post some prose right now. I can tell how good of a writer you are usually by reading a page or so of your work.

I'll consider when i get it up and running.

EDIT:I'll have to say something notable: The story is gonna be in a form of light novel. That's the way i inteded it to be from the beginnig. So i really should change the title to "Good advice for starting a light novel". I am sorry if this lead to a little confusion.
