I’m always surprised when I hear that budding novel writers are looking for a trick to write hit novels, ***? if there is a ***?cret ****.n the ****?cessful writers know about that no one else does!

Well listen to this: There is no ***?cret to writing a novel when it comes to what to write or in what style to write in. The trick that all ****?cessful writers use are more to do with the state of mind needed to write a great novel.

Do you ****?t to know the state of mind all ****?cessful writers use to create award-winning novels? A Zen-like laser-focused visualization state, that is oblivious to the physical world, and totally absorbed into the creative constructions of the universe of the novel.

This is the greatest ***?cret to writing an excellent novel. Get yourself into that state and you can write novels ***? incredible ***? anyone on the ***?ce of the planet. Don’t believe me? Then here is an exercise you can try right now to find out this truth for yourself…

Go into a quiet and comfortable room with no distractions ****?h ***? a mobile phone. Also, make sure you won’t be distracted with email alerts. Be well fed so that your body cannot distract your zen-like novel writing state. Make sure nothing is going to distract your ***?nses in the physical world, so that you can safely enter the mental construct you will be creating.

Ready? Take some deep breaths. To get into the the mental state necessary to write a great novel close your eyes and focus on ‘a scene’. Get clear pictures and emotions of a scene in your minds-eye. Don’t think about plot, ***? that will come later.

Once a scene vividly manifests into your mind try and develop it ***?rther into something you can totally immerse yourself in. Get it ***? clear ***? possible in your mind in the form of pictures, characters (no names) and emotions. These are the essence of the scene.

The novel will basically be made up of ***?veral scenes which interconnect. Think of scenes that raise a strong ***?nse of emotion. These are what make novels great and the writers behind them ****?cessful

Chronus is a computer-horror sci-fi movie. Man builds a super computer and asks a question, ” What is the Great Wall of China?” the computer answers, ” Pure Zen. What you can not keep within, you can not keep without.”, and uses it to run his home. Completely automated, with camera viewers in every room, his wife gets the feeling that she is being watched, maybe manipulated. The computer kidnaps the wife, and the husband has to rescue her from the computer. She is subjected to bizzare medical experiments, and the husband suffers a bloody beating during the conflict. The childless couple discovers that she is pregnant when the husband rescues her. Although all of the fingers point to cloning, when asked, all the computer can say is that “I was watching the stars”.
