Explanation:

So, when writing a novel, it is best that you come up with a way you want it to be done. Think about how the characters actions relate to your everyday life. It is better to think about the characters actions and your actions, because then you could put yourself in their shoes.

often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun:

people like to have money.

i am tired.

it is getting late.
