“You can’t create a novel, they create you!”
Writing is a talent, and one can only gain it by having a creative mind, once you have that, then there’s no stopping you. A writer must delve deep into his mind and to see his imaginations, then he must form something out of it, for example: sculptors may have a piece of marble set in front of them, but in order to turn it into something magnificent they need to see it in their mind as something trapped inside, waiting to be released.
If you search you will find, an idea is all you need, and then you can add and expand to the impossible to create your story. Form your characters, your plot, your setting, and before you know it you have your masterpiece. The only problem now is how to interpret it into written form.
At this point it’s always good to have some knowledge of the English world, including grammar, spelling and all sub-forms of literature. To gain such knowledge you must read a lot, pick up a novel and dissect it, study the way it’s written, find out what the writer is trying to achieve with each piece of info he uses, the descriptions he plays out.
Try to study the meanings, cons/pro’s and such of terms like Cliché’s, Cliques, ect.
Once you have this knowledge, study it all once more, and possibly again, this will raise your experience’s and knowledge of the writing world.
Another thing you can do is go online and search for some advice that published writers give, pay attention to it. Acknowledge it as helpful information and use it.
By this time you can start the gruelling task of actually writing the damned thing, this will take quite a long time and throughout the process you will no doubt suffer loss of perseverance and enthusiasm, but remember, do NOT give up. Writers posses a strong-willed stubbornness that helps them endure.
“Writers write, good writers succeed.”
Ok, so you have written a novel, a story, something that you spilled every dame ounce of strength in you. Now its time to edit it, don’t bother editing until you have finished the very last word of the story. You will need to edit it around, ohhh, let’s say, 2 – 5 times before you actually send it off to a real editor and publisher.
Don’t get your hopes up; there is a great chance you will be rejected, just send the manuscript to different publishers and, fingers-crossed, you will be accepted.
Now this is about all I can say without creating my own “How-to-write-A-Novel” book.
So good luck and all the best with your writing journey.
Hope this helps a little.

I dream of being married to Brad Pitt, but it ain't gonna happen.

You do realize using all caps is the equivalent of screaming on the internet, right? You're screaming at everyone. Not a way to get people to help you.

If you are asking how to get published, I suggest being proactive and using the search function of YA. This question is asked about a dozen times each day. The answer is always the same. It isn't going to change because you scream.

If you're intending to write in the English language, I think you need to work on your language skills (basic grammar, for instance) before you even consider publishing them.

Join a writers' group for further guidance. There are plenty on line and there may also be some in your local town.
