A novelist is a type of writer or author who creates long works of fiction.  Majority of novelists prefer to write in one genre, but some have written books in different genres. Novelists come up with an idea, they usually come up with this idea by what they have experienced or something they witnessed.
Here's what Stephen king said when asked where his ideas came from
“I get my ideas from everywhere. But what all of my ideas boil down to is seeing maybe one thing, but in a lot of cases it’s seeing two things and having them come together in some new and interesting way, and then adding the question ‘What if?’ ‘What if’ is always the key question.“
Many novelists have a plan in their head, they know what the book is going to be about and whats going to happen. However, some novelists “wing it” which means that they write with whatever thought comes to mind when writing it. A novelist has to write at least everyday, they have to edit any mistakes or other things. Novelists need to find a publisher that'll publish their book
