Fiction writing is an art not so easy to master. It has lots of considerations which the fiction writers have to take care of. It is quite difficult to sum all the fiction writing techniques here. However, the five main fiction writing guidelines will be covered here.
Development of the character
The first thing the novel writer or a short story writer has to consider in novel writing or short writing is character development. The writers must tell the readers essential details about the characters in the novel. These personal details include the likes, dislikes, physical descriptions, attitudes, hopes, fears, expectations etc.
Development of plot of the story
The second thing is developing the story plot which makes a reader makes up his mind about the upcoming story. You can add a scene of conflict or any other situation at the start of the novel. Be more careful about the ending and climax of the story which are important elements of the novel plot.
Dialogue Delivery
You should make sure the way the characters speak represents the theme of the story and their attitudes. They should not sound artificial if you are telling the story of real people.
Revisions and editing

Avoid redundancy as it will only cause the readers to skip through the pages of the book to know the ‘real’ story.
