Plan your story. Plan the structure, plot, characters and theme. If you can, sketch out the subplots as well. Before I write a single word, I already know what each scene is and what it's supposed to do. For a novel, planning is essential. I didn't come close to finishing a novel until I learned to plan one.

Once you realize you can create a character, beat the hell out of them and then give them the power to prevail, it's kind of fun. Writing fiction can be very expressive and sometimes the only way to say what you mean. (less)
