The story will tell itself in your mind if it's a story worth telling and you're going about it right. Your characters will get minds of their own and start moving the story for you. Sometimes, it's best to let them have their heads and then work from the direction they've taken you. Also, trust your instincts. Even if you have to delete a scene or part of the storyline later, it served its purpose at the time. Don't fight it, work with it. (less)
