The answer

Writing books and stories is permissible in principle. It is more likely that writing fictional novels is permissible if they are purposeful and promote goodness and righteousness. The writer must avoid falsehood and deceit in their writings, and not promote false beliefs or moral corruption. There is no harm in working on writing sound stories for children that are free from corrupt ideas. The aspect of permissibility increases if the stories are used for constructive building and instilling correct doctrine and virtuous morals.
