I try to write a novel. but when i read it again, it feel so ridiculous and cliche.
i guess i am not that good to write a novel. and i don't have a great fantasy too.
do we have a good fantasy to write a novel?
if it does...i guess i am out..
can u suggest me to keep write about it?

If you're trying to write it in English, it will be very difficult because your sentences are not well-formed at all. If you're trying to write it in your native language, I suggest you keep notes first and then combine them into a story. You don't provide many details about the kind of the novel so I can't help you much. But if you feel your imagination is not vivid enough, you can write real things that have actually happened and exaggerate/change them a bit. Good luck!

Actually I am serious to say that writing is not a tough task. Seriously...
The toughest task is to construct the idea and storyline before writing is really a tough deed.
So do your paper works before starting. Construct the story as skeleton. After that you can add the flesh. How you construct the skeleton gives the shape.

I think you can do. Because many had done that earlier. So try to construct what you think. You have amend your idea when storyline is proceed on. Don't let die your idea on mind. Do some paper works. What idea come write down. Then you can construct those serially.

About 10 years ago I was a ghost writer. The stories that I wrote were based on real incidents, and expanded with my imagination. What I am going to write is an addition to what have been suggested before me.
I do realise that not many people can imagine things from one single event, partly because they were not really taught to do so. If you think that you belong to this category then
1) Avoid aiming for a long story. Write what you already know, add what you can. What is important is to get the story written.
2) Go back to your written work, and add anything else that comes to mind. If you do this you will find your story growing.
Writing a story based on real lfe events can make it appealing to readers because it is easier to put some life into it.

Perhaps you could write about what you know: incidents from your own life: an autobiographical novel. Many first-time writers use their own experiences to create their first novel.

ifa all good writers and great writers start feeling that what they wrote sounds dumb and stupid,while you do need to work on your English you do have an imagination and try to picture what you have got in your mind
and start to elaborate on it. sometimes just sitting down and free style
writing for say a half hour on anything that comes to your mind, do not
criticize it or change it just keep on writing til your time is up.Okayt now read what you have written . A lot of times in that writing you will see something that triggers a story, so now grab that and start elaborating on it.Also take writing classes in a junior college so you can get some clues as how to form a short story or a novel.Ifa do read a lot of the kind of fiction you like and observe the way your favorite suthors put together their novels. this all will help,.
