Do you have an idea for a novel? There are some things you should have before you start.
Check if you have at least these three things…
1. An interesting unique plot (a conflict as well as a resolution)
2. Compelling characters readers can relate to
3. A clear setting
Or…
You could just wing it. I’m sure that would make for an interesting story.

Yup, let’s wing it 😉
That’s a fun way to do it!
I’ve done both. 😉 Winging it can be fun sometimes although I like the structure of knowing exactly where a story is going as well.
I usually have structure, but sometimes you just have to wing it to give your brain a break. Some of the best ideas come from not knowing what you’re doing too.
I almost always wing it, haha! Although I’m getting better doing “reverse” outlines.
Yes you are!
Although the latter is more fun and I do it quite often, it never seems to work out. So, I think I’ll go through the checklist this time and hopefully finish a book. 🙂
Yeah I have a hard time winging it too, lol. Good luck with your book! 🙂
I do the latter a lot.
I do every once in a while. It’s fun, but doesn’t always work out well for me, lol.
Same here. I find I have to go back and outline.
