Writing the First Novel

[Alexander III]

hey hey hey, I actually prefer reading philosophical treatises to most philosophical novels, Give me Rousseau and Voltaire's treatises any day, over any philosophical novel.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

I wrote a novel when I was 14-16 and although it pains me now to think of its shocking storyline and awful writing, yet I really enjoyed writing it. It is interesting to see how I developed through the novel in my writing style and how much I have changed since then, despite feeling like the same person.
Anyway, to you. Unless you are determined to have the book published, do not be too worried about how you write. Isn't there some quote about the first born always being an experiment or something along those lines? Simply, just experiment with it.
But in saying this, I don't know much about novels.
Keep us updated though
Good luck
