How to write a damn good novel

It's Sunday and the house is full of kids.  Again.  They live on the same streets.  It's very difficult to concentrate.

Not been doing much writing, but I thought a lot about it.  Already know how I will start the story, which surprised me very much;  usually, that's one of the hardest thing.  The story is taking shape.  I will try to write the character's biography (if the kids don't annoy me too much!!!).
