Writing a Great Novel-The Secret Every Writer Needs to Know

Every writer wants to write a great novel, but not every writer knows the secret that can make the difference between a successful novel and a failure. The secret that every writer needs to know is that every novel is a mystery. I know that might sound ridiculous at first, especially if you're writing a romance or a science fiction novel. At their core, though, even westerns and horror stories are mysteries.

Let me explain what I mean. When I say that every novel is a mystery, I mean that there is something (a mystery) that the main character must figure out during the story. In a murder mystery, this is pretty obvious. The main character must figure out who committed the murder. This search for the murderer then provides the framework around which the rest of the story is structured. In a romance, the protagonist may need to figure out how to get the man she loves to fall in love with her. In a science fiction novel, the main character may need to figure out how to get back home after his spaceship crashes on an alien planet. In each of these cases, solving the mystery in the story provides the framework.

Late For Work? Your Not Alone!

Being late or absent is one of the biggest problems companies have in the work place. If you knew how to cure this problem, you could seminar your idea and retire.

But this is not so simple. It is a big enough chore to get the work load scheduled effectively when everyone is present, but when they are late or absent, it puts a strain not only on the company, but the other employees as well. Someone then has to pick up the work load and this can create a negative attitude in the environment. T his usually causes upset employees and can be costly to the company. Being late or absent will always be a problem for every company or supervisor. Making every employee feel that they are an integral part of the team is a plus to their attitude toward the job and the overall success of the company.

Praise your employees when they perform as expected and especially when they do a little extra. You'd be surprised how a complement can change the attitude of anyone - when they know that they are a part of the
