On the other hand, women's writing describes literature that is authored or promoted by a female. Writing a women's fiction book requires one to consider a few aspects. Here are a few guidelines for becoming a better womens fiction writer to think through.

Consider the writing that you will focus on. Decide to write a long, short, or different sub-genres in fictional writing depending on your capacity and what you love writing. Long literature can include a couple of sub-genres and subtopics to make them interesting. However, short writings focus on a specific sub-genre are written in magazines and articles.

Define your protagonist. You need to understand and become intimate with your main characters as well as others involved in your novel to express them accordingly. Readers usually tend to understand the feelings, vulnerabilities, thoughts and other fine details related to the characters to maintain flow while reading. Express the protagonist with warmth to create an attachment between the main character and the reader.

Describe your setting. Consider different kinds of settings based on your content. This includes contemporary, Victorian age, present history, and suburb and village settings.

Include a key relationship. Novels which involve a female protagonist are much interesting when a male character is introduced. Such considerations are important in expressing romantic gestures such as affectionate, repulsiveness, supportive, and jealousy. A writer can also include a life-changing event that changes the romantic gesture of the protagonist expressed in the plot.

Strike a balance among different styles. You should use different styles such as humor, suspense, thrill, and sadness to make the novel quite exciting and engaging. You should find a balance on these styles to avoid concentrating on one making the whole novel dull. Even so, you can use suspense on a frequent basis to complete a topic or introduce a topic to lure the reader into reading more and more.

Show the emotion of the protagonist in unexpected settings. You can use the feelings, thoughts, and believes of your protagonist to create a twist. Such can be expressed when you include an unexpected behavior or reaction in the most unexpected setting.

Choose an interesting ending. There are different methods that one can use to end a story. This includes twist ending, implicit ending, long view ending, happy ending and an unresolved ending.
