I didn't know where to put this, so I thought this forum would be good. Since people come here to mentor others, I figured people would enlighten the rest of us with their methods of writing.
So when you get ideas for a new book, how do you start? Do you begin taking notes? If you start taking notes of your ideas, do you do it like a diary, by dating everything you write?
How do you go about developing characters? Do you think of characters FIRST then let them build the plot? Or do you think of a plot, and build characters around the plot?
Everyday you write what do you keep track of? Word count? The date?
I could ask a ton more questions, but I better stop... I'm just wondering overall the process YOU go through while writing.
