1. Figure out the word count. short story? Full length novel?
2. Plot Points, Major events that change the course of the story.
3. Character Charts.
4. I write the first and last scene.
5. Find the tone of the story. Light and funny or dark and scary?
6. Have the book cover in my head to match the tone of the story. I already have someone working on the cover even though it might be 5 months before the book is finished
7. Set up writing schedule, so I know when the book will be finished. Helps keep me on track.
8. I don't talk about my story to anyone. I write the story first
9. Plot out the book. Break it down into chapters and then scene by scene. That way, I know where I am going and won't get stuck
10. Beleive in your story. If I don't believe in my story, no one else will
