Are you interested in writing a novel? Well, if you want to be a good novelist, you’re supposed to avoid some common writing mistakes, the first one of which is not having a thunderous start．The first word, first sentence, and first page of your novel will decide if the reader wants to turn the page and keep reading．Having too much unnecessary information at the start and keeping the reader waiting for the real story can make him lose interest and give up on the book．You don’t want that to happen．All is well that “starts” well．

It’s also wrong not to have decided on an audience before writing your novel．Decide what kind of an audience your novel will cater to．Once you’re sure who will be reading it, you’ll know what style of writing you should adopt, the kind of language you will have to use．This gives you a direction and enables you to write better．

Another writing mistake is writing with your head, not with your heart．Every kind of reader should be pleased, every character should be perfect, every character should be likable, and the novel should have a happy ending．If these are your thoughts when writing a novel, you are probably not thinking straight．Writing with business or monetary gains as your aim should be discouraged as that affects what you really want to express．Write because you want to, not because you have to.

You also need to avoid writing too quickly or too slowly．If you are writing too slowly, it either means you are just too lazy or procrastinating (延遲)．If you are writing too fast, you are either rushing it or are not giving yourself enough time to shape it．Neither of the two is healthy for your novel or you as a writer．Some sections might take longer than others and vice versa．Just maintain the required pace．

Using words and sentences that are neither appropriate nor rich is also a common writing mistake you should avoi

Words are all you have to make the readers feel what the character is feeling, to visualize what the protagonist (主人公) is looking at, or to imagine the coldness in the eyes of the criminal．If you confine (限制) your vocabulary to a limited set of words, you limit the experience of the reader．Anger is not the only word which can be used to express that emotion．Make use of words like fury, wrath, vengeance, rage and frenzy to express anger．Similarly, if a scene needs a dialog, don’t write a report or an essay there．Instead, spice it up by involving an animated, energized dialog.
