Nonfiction requires a lot of research, which is fun. I found that when writing a novel, I need to create a loose outline to stay on track. I also write a character sketch for each of the main characters. Things change as the story develops, but it helps to know who is who. How well do you know your characters, their dreams, ambitions, fears, quirks, etc?
