I've been writing stories and novels for a long time. Since I don't plan much, I'm interested in how you do it. How exactly do you plot, and what tools do you use?
Pictures from the internet for the characters?
Extra documents or index cards to expand and reinforce locations, characters, objects, etc.?
How do you write the novel? Do you write from front to back? Back to front, or do you work toward scenes?

Loading...Hi guys, can you use Temu spoons and steel leaders for fishing or is the stuff not of good quality?
I already know about the characters themselves (name, age, etc.), where they live (street, house, city, etc.) and their characteristics and behavior. Since the appearance is still changing, I didn't want to write anything about it. Can you summarize something or write something about the characters? Ah, relationships and connections to other people, but what…
Hi, I recently started a story on one of those sites where they publish chapter by chapter. I don't want to advertise here, so I won't go into it any further. Do you have any tips on how I can get more readers?
I'm writing a story again 🙂 The thing is, I want to describe intense, blue eyes in a positive way . Not something like "ice cold" or something like that, which comes across as rather negative. So how can I describe (light) blue eyes in a positive and beautiful way? Something like "sky blue" or…
At first, I work out the character.
What’s her name? What are they afraid of? What are their weaknesses? Did they trigger personally? Where did they grow up? How did her education affect her? How do they look? What are their wits? What makes her (not) loving? U.s.w.
After that, I write where my protagonist is at the beginning and at the end. In general, the beginning and the end must be fixed.
Then, of course, the story needs a goal and a logical explanation for driving the protagonist to achieve the goal. Stage problems are of course also + solution.
I often work out one to two side stories. The end and beginning are also clear there.
Thank you very much for your excellent description. That’s what I do. I plan the beginning and the end and individual highlights or low points of history and then I work on it.
First I develop the characters after that the world in which they should live and then the story is built on the result.
Hi.
I usually write scores about what happens and only after that I write my book correctly.
So I’ve been writing books for almost 25 years and I’ve already finished the complete book in my head! This part lasts the longest – partly very long!
In principle, I only write down the story – it doesn’t take a week.
It’s rare to think of something else when writing, or I’m writing something great or changing.
So, first think, then write!
A good tactics. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to write through a whole week. But that’s how it works. I’m walking, there’s an idea coming, and it’s growing in the head. I’m not writing the story until the beginning and the end are completely clear to me, and I find it very good. ^^
I don’t do anything about what you’re debating, my characters are falling into my own.
I write.
Of course from the beginning to the end. I’ve never heard of anyone in the back.
What I do is look for villages, houses. Currently a BW hospital and a hotel nearby that yes.
But there are many great authors who start their books with the end.
Jein. So no idea villeicht there is it really 😂 But what I have often heard and is very sensible to know “how it ends”. This does not mean that you have completely written the “End Scene/Chapter”, but that you roughly know where all the lines of action are to end. (At Onepiece, the Eijiro Oda was clear from the outset (more than 20 years ago!!!) that Ruffy will meet Blackbeard/ will have a final fight and that the world government or at least the world aristocrats would be “thought”. The fact that, in the course of this, for example, Jinbei would join the straw hat pirates, which will certainly participate in the finale, should not have been clear to Mr Oda from the outset.) You have to leave his story a little bit of space to develop, at least I see a great advantage as statically working on a fixed end and discarding every good idea in the course of the process because it “does not fit the end”
Hope this helps
Best regards
