Get a basic idea and toss it around a bit util it some what resembles the plot. Write down random bits of world building and figure out the appearance of some characters.<br />Write a partial outline.<br />Start writing the draft. Swap in and out of different ideas.<br />Realize it's broken and continue to write while trying to add new ideas to fix it. <br />Finish the first draft despite the plot being broken,<br />Let it sit.<br />A week before starting the second draft finally figure out the missing piece.<br />See lots more problems in the second draft.Brie Donninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143675481045319013noreply@blogger.com
