把小說寫好有哪些技巧？

曾今有人問《冰與火之歌》的作者George R.R. Martin

他是這麼回答的，這裡摘錄下來：

Q: I want to be a writer. Can you give me any advice?

A: The most important thing for any aspiring writer, I think, is to read! And not just the sort of thing you』re trying to write, be that fantasy, SF, comic books, whatever. You need to read everything. Read fiction, non-fiction, magazines, newspapers. Read history, historical fiction, biography. Read mystery novels, fantasy, SF, horror, mainstream, literary classics, erotica, adventure, satire. Every writer has something to teach you, for good or ill. (And yes, you can learn from bad books as well as good ones — what not to do)

And write. Write every day, even if it is only a page or two. The more you write, the better you』ll get. But don』t write in my universe, or Tolkien』s, or the Marvel universe, or the Star Trek universe, or any other borrowed background. Every writer needs to learn to create his own characters, worlds, and settings. Using someone else』s world is the lazy way out. If you don』t exercise those 「literary muscles,」 you』ll never develop them.

Given the realities of today』s market in science fiction and fantasy, I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That』s like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft. They are a good place for you to make the mistakes that every beginning writer is going to make. And they are still the best way for a young writer to break in, since the magazines are always hungry for short SF and fantasy stories. Once you』ve been selling short stories for five years or so, you』ll have built up a name for yourself, and editors will start asking you about that first novel.

Whatever you do, though… good luck. You』ll need it.

要有一顆敏感的心，多積累，堅持寫，鍛煉想像力

學習小說的常識、基本功、技巧可以讓人寫出一個合格的小說，但是要說到寫「好」（不知道你指的寫好的含義是不是和我一樣）則沒有技巧，而是看一個作者是否能寫出那些「只有小說才能表達的東西」。

首先要有一部草擬的大綱，記在腦子裡就好，勾勒出故事的主線：這就相當於遊戲的主線任務，有哪些主要角色，起承轉結如何，都要有一個起碼的構思。

這樣你的小說就有了骨架，然後再往裡面加肉---支線的劇情，人物的背景故事以及其他的角色。

最後就是你的文筆不能太差，不能該寫的東西因為文筆不夠寫不出或寫不好。

另外再提醒你一點：你的故事一定要符合邏輯，不要讓讀者有不知所云的感覺。

祝你寫出一本好小說！
