Each one of us is born with creativity and imagination. But some people utilize it more than any one else around them. If the thought of writing a novel has crossed your mind at some point of time, let me tell you that it requires a lot of imagination on your part simply because you have to create something which does not exist. The beginning, the plot or the content, the climax and the end are some of the essential ingredients of a good novel. When talking of a novel, a character is something that gives life to it. Characterization is important in a novel since it has the ability to move the story forward. Many novelists base their characters, on their personal experiences with people from different walks of life, or someone who they admire, or even those who have inspired them in their lives. This technique always works because most people love to get connected with what they are reading.
