I think that the best way to start writing is writing. Just do the first step, write some sentences from your heart. You can use your computer, because button punching sometimes leads you and it can be a real assistant for your work.

Also, gain some experience. Try to get as much first-hand experience as possible (yourself). If that doesn't work, find some second hand experiences (from books, blogs, websites etc). That should get you as much experience possible.

Write from the heart. Don't rush it. If you have to, dream it up. Know your plot. Don't edit until the end. The less interruptions, probably the better. Don't say that you must do it by [date]. It is good to set goals, but don't make the time too short. A slowly-written story is probably a lot better than a rushed story. Write.

Hope I helped,
Ail.

you want to write about the real indian, so the the first experense is very improtant.

You should ensure your subject , and then guildline the whole novel, the last step is filling with more detail.

Good luck!

As Bokkworm already pointed out, it's probably a bad idea trying that in English, so let's assume you're aiming to your own native language.

You should get a basic idea what do you want to happen, like:

Main character is born
his parents are killed
oh my, what a hard childhood
surprise, he's gotten through and now he is strong
hmmm, his parents were killed by a long gone villain who has now returned
yes, he will avenge them, and indeed he did

See? That's a quick summary of Harry Potter.

Get this idea first, because it's so much easier to deal with th writing when you do know where are you heading.

If you are good in writing short stories, only then you can write complete novel, because in writing novel you have to thing broad, think beyond the story line.

I think you first need to gain some experience. Just write the more you can

Just sit down and start writing. Unless you're writing an historical essay, your novel doesn't have to be historically correct so there's honestly no need to go into a year's worth of research just to write a story about an Indian. Have, at least, somewhat of an idea for a main character and focus on fleshing that character out, equip him/her with basic tools (IE creativity, knowledge, a knack for, I don't know, making leather skirts), give him/her character flaws (IE blind, mute, shy, overly eager, stubborn) and then throw them into adversity that challenges their flaws and see how they'll survive with the tools you gave them.

By the by, for those of you who didn't bother to answer the OP's question and, instead, chose to ridicule the OP's grammar, you should probably read again. Looks to me like the OP was using a translator and pretty sure we all know how wonderful the online translators work. Oh, and your own grammar could use a bit of help.

Just sayin'.

Nice, I think you should just keep writing about topic surrounding you and some after a while it will automatically happen.
