Which Types Of Sub-plots Do You Enjoy Reading In A Fantasy/ Adventure Novel

Which book genres do you enjoy the most and which the least?

Personally, I enjoy reading young adult fantasy novels the most. They simply bring out the imaginative side of me where most of the time I imagine having powers and stuff. I especially like reading those that introduces the main character as this type of person where they have no idea who/what they are/have initially, then developing their characters to a certain extent wherein they are already powerful both inside and out like maybe books/novels/series such as Red Queen, The Young Elites, Shatter Me, Cinder, etc...In reading stuff like these I enjoy reading those that just has the right amount of romantic stuff in it. I'm not a fan of those hard core romantic books like The Notebook and stuff (like it, don't love it) but just a tiny romantic spark in it, please.. I'd rather enjoy reading charcter development than relationship development, I'm sorry.Because I’m a young adult myself, it would contradict my interests if I’m not a fan of those fantasy novels myself. Yes, I may occasionally like those books that are catered for adults/kids, but not that much.Finally, the book genre that I would least likely to read would be Horror. I mean, not everyone can take in horror, am I right? I am easily frightened and scared just by watching, much more if I'd be reading it. There's this book my friend gave me while exchanging gifts and it has already been a year but I still make excuses as to not read it, haha. For that friend who gave the book entitled Finders Keepers by Stephen King, thank you for the gesture and it may be a great book, It may still have to be stocked at the shelf for a little while.

What kind of books did your parents read?

My parents were born in Europe and came from poverty in a world without books. Their generation has seen two world wars and the great depression. Reading books was the way to access a better life, my dad was an economist and my mom a teacher and a writer. By the time they died there was about five thousand books in their library.Contents:All the great Greek and Latin classics and books on the French revolution, democracy in Britain and in the US (mainly as an escape from Nazism: they had searched a more positive view of mankind). All the great classics in economy: Adam Smith, Friedman, Keynes, Schumpeter, Hayek, Markx, Malthus, Stuart Mill… The classic defenders of freedom like Beaumarchais, Ben Franklin, and the American Founding fathers. French literature of the 18th century. Many books by and on Winston Churchill. Also biographies of the great 19th centuries authors who spread knowledge, like authors of dictionaries. Books by Einstein, Poincaré and a few physicists and mathematicians.You see a trend here, I hope.In addition, because they were of strong European convictions, they were the main classic novels and poetry in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, some Nordic languages and loads of dictionaries in various languages.

I'm trying to write a novel. What are some strategies for plot development and how can I keep my writing engaging?

The thing is, with this kind of question, that it is rather difficult to answer it because I don’t know what you’re planning to write, and I don’t know you as a writer.According to my own experiences, I’d say you have to figure out your essentials (if you have any), get them in order, and then just write. Essentials are part of the plot development you need to have done and developed before you start writing. Examples may be:Main characterMain plotMain settingsSide charactersSide plotsSide settingsWorld buildingHistoryPoliticsReligionFlora/faunaRules (e.g. of nature, of time, etc.)My most essential item when writing my story is my main character. I want appearance, character traits, favourite foods, allergies, prospective friends, hypothetical potential to make friends (or lack thereof), some history, etc. If I’ve built a compelling main character, I can in theory just start writing, and I may write my plot on the go.Main plot is the next bullet point that requires some thought, and this is where it gets a bit tricky. I’m not a planner. If I plan too much I tend to kill the story in its cradle. This is why I know my character is the one thing I need to write something, while all the other essentials that may be attractive essentials for some, may be carefully written out by an elaborate planner before anything about the actual story is written.For my main plot, I usually have two areas to focus on. I have a future “crescendo”, a main plotpoint I want to work towards, and from that I will attempt to find the introduction to the story itself that relates to this point.The story itself may never arrive at the main plotpoint, but that isn’t too important. I just need the direction to walk towards, and write around the assumption that it’s there, and edit it as I go if I can think of something better. Now I have to write it. I’m somewhat concerned with grammar, but it is secondary to the story-writing itself, and I will only go back and edit when I hit a dead end and need something else to do while thinking about what to do next.You need to have an inkling as to what happens next, even if you don’t write it directly on paper. Figure out the essentials listed above you need to know, those you need an inkling about, and those you may figure out as you go, and write. What is needed to be compelling tends to come with it, and if not, as long as your story is done and written, it is possible to change the missing parts during the editing.Write on!
