Everything is created like a novel? Ok then Cujo is the cause of the existence of rabid dogs.
Wow, way to trash Shakespeare.
Sorry cant have it both ways.
If you are going to argue God doesn't have a cause, then the far more simple answer is to say that the universe would not need one either.
Otherwise if you claim everything has a cause or "author" then your God also has an "author".
Let me clue you in, "God" does have an author, humans, nowhere else.
I hate to burst your bubble, but 4 billion years ago, there were no god claims, because there were no humans to make up those things. 5 billion years from now, our species will be long extinct and all the mythologies humans have made up will die with our species. Our sun will expand, fry our planet, and our solar system and sun will die and there will be no record of the claims humans have made.

Um no, a novel only needs evolution that lead our species to come up with human language. But evolution itself was not a factory product, like Willy Wonka making chocolate. Our species is only an estimated 200,000 years old, to which human written language has only been around 10,000 years, out of a 4 billion year old planet, which has had 5 mass extinction events i in a 13.8 billion year old universe.
Ok, you want to go with the "novel" metaphor"?
Lots of good Novels, sure, but lots of crappy dime store novels too.
This is just another way of saying "everything has a creator, my creator".
Stephen King wrote lots of graphic horror si fi novels. But I certainly hope you don't take those as reality.
Neither Creationism or ID as it is now called, explain anything.
If everything has a creator, then horrible things like ecoli and cancer and cockroaches also were created. So by your logic, Stephen King is God.
Novels have authors, non-novels don’t
Life is all sound and fury signifying nothing is like a non-novel, life signifying something is like a novel.
